Kenneth Okonkwo, a spokesperson for the Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign committee, claims that the Department of State Services (DSS) has mocked the Nigerian courts over its recent warning that some individuals are plotting to undermine Nigeria’s democracy.
Okonkwo stated on Thursday via his Twitter account that the DSS alert is an allegation against the nation’s courts that some politicians want to utilize it to issue spurious injunctions.
According to the Labour Party leader, the DSS has put the integrity of the judiciary into question and needs to further expose individuals who may be guilty in the system.

He wrote: “The @OfficialDSSNG mocks the Nigerian judiciary. Alleges that planners of interim government intends to use them to truncate democracy by making them issue frivolous injunctions. Hmmm!! So Nigerian courts are now notorious injunction issuers? DSS should go further and expose them.”
His statement comes as the DSS revealed on Wednesday that it had identified certain important persons attempting to derail the May 29 transition to a new government and force an interim government in Nigeria.
According to a statement issued by the DSS’s spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, the plot by the identified individuals is to disregard the constitution and undermine civil rule, as well as to sponsor mass protests and plunge the country into an avoidable crisis, in order to pave the way for the planned interim government.
According to the statement, those involved in the plot intended to acquire frivolous court injunctions to prevent the inauguration of new executive administrations and legislative chambers at the federal and state levels on May 29.
