But fielding questions from State House correspondents at the end of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting chaired by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, said security agents are on top of the situation.

He was accompanied to the briefing by four other ministers – Isaac Adewole (Health), Abubakar Malami (Justice), Ogbonnaya Onu (Science and Technology) and Adebayo Shittu (Communication).

Mohammed said Nigeria is not new to one group or another issuing such threats.

He said: “The issue of one or two groups issuing statements that is capable of destabilizing the polity did not just start today or did not start yesterday.

“What I want to assure you is that security organizations are very very much on top of this matter.”
