The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday, claimed it has uncovered a plot to instigate mass action against its ongoing war against cybercrimes.
It cautioned the unnamed shadowy group believed to be the brain behind the planned protest to retrace its steps, warning that it will not tolerate any breakdown of law and order against its operation.
The agency alleged that the group has been campaigning on social media and recruiting young Nigerians to take up arms against it.
According to EFCC, it was already working with sister security agencies to deal with possible threats to peace and security in the land. It, however, asked parents, guardians and heads of tertiary institutions to prevail on their wards not to join the protest.
The agency which gave the warning in a statement in Abuja by its head of media and publicity, Dele Oyewale, said although it is “not averse to protests by citizens, it won’t allow corrupt elements under investigation or prosecution to orchestrate national uprising.”
