The Director General, Management and Staff of the Department of State Services (DSS), on Friday, felicitate the Christian faithful on the celebration of Easter.
The Security Service boss also called on Nigerians to draw lessons from the forbearance and humility of Jesus Christ and apply the same in their daily affairs.
The Service reminds the Christians to use the event which illustrates sacrifice and forgiveness to refocus their love for one another, the nation and humanity at large.
The Easter message was contained in a statement on Friday, March 29, 2024 by the DSS Director, PR & Strategic Communications, Dr Peter Nnochirionye Afunnanya.
The statement said: "On this note, citizens are encouraged to adopt self-control, discipline and compassion in their dealings and conducts. The Service enjoins them to eschew bitterness, disloyalty, fake news, hate speech and violence.
"Similarly, celebrants are advised to restrain from such behaviors as illicit drugs, excessive alcoholism as well as reject all forms of bigotry and other social vices during the ceremony. They are, therefore, implored to renew their commitment to the peace, unity of Nigeria and work towards her inclusiveness.
"Consequent upon these, everyone is urged to be vigilant and report attempts to breach security to relevant law enforcement agencies.
