The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has assured Nigerians that the Federal Capital Territory Abuja is safe and secured from terrorist attacks.
Aregbesola described as false and untrue, media reports that there are threats of possible attack on Abuja.
He stated this when he briefed State House correspondents on the outcome of the emergency meeting of the National Security Council, presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday in Abuja.
According to him, “I’ve given you the outcome of the Security Council meeting, but to your question, there isn’t any threat to safety and security of Abuja.
“Abuja is secure and very safe. If there was a leak, as you mentioned, it could just be operational alert that does not require any worry or concern.
“The Council has mandated us to assure Nigerians of their safety, of their security and enduring peace for the period of the festivities”, he stated.
