The Federal Government has assured residents in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and, indeed other, parts of the country that their security remains a top priority of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Mohammed, who said on Sunday in Abuja, informed Nigerians that government has put in place adequate security measures to thwart any possible terror attack in the FCT and other parts of the country.
Following the recent travel advisories issued by some western countries, he said there was no cause for alarm as security agencies have not let down their guard, adding that there has been no terror attack in Abuja since the President assumed office in 2015.
“We know that the terrorists, who have been massively degraded and put on the run, have been looking for soft targets to attack,” the minister said in the statement signed by his aide, Segun Adeyemi.
