National Security Adviser Lists Three Islamic Sponsors Of Terror Groups In Nigeria

The Department of State Services has raised alarm that certain groups and individuals intend to cause a breakdown of law and order in the country.

The Service said it has also observed that some persons who are desperately seeking power are sponsoring wrong information to mislead citizens and overheat the polity.

It said already, such persons are exploiting and politicizing the issue of insecurity in parts of the country for pecuniary and other selfish reasons.

Addressing reporters at the DSS headquarters, Spokesman of the Service, Dr. Peter Afunanya, said they want to use the situation to cause divisions among citizens, seek cheap popularity and present the country as ungovernable.

In his reaction, a security expert, Dr. Kabiru Adamu said it was right for the DSS to raise alarm but also expect it to advise Nigerians on what to do in order not to fall a victim.

Everton forward Richarlison is out for a "number of weeks" with the calf injury he sustained in their 3-1 defeat by Crystal Palace.

The Palace match also saw Andros Townsend fracture his foot and captain Seamus Coleman sustain bone bruising and soft tissue damage.

Both players will continue to be assessed but they add to Everton's mounting injury list.

England international Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been out since August with a thigh problem.

Benitez is also without midfielder Tom Davies (knee) and defender Yerry Mina, who lasted just 31 minutes on his comeback after two months out before sustaining a calf problem.

Everton are currently 14th in the Premier League.
