The Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday said it has arrested two suspects over alleged call and deliberate incitement for violence in parts of Kano State.

The Public Relations Officer of DSS, Peter Afunanya, said this in a statement in Abuja.

Afunanya said the suspects had separately recorded messages and shared them through different social media channels.
