Buhari regime verifying source of U.S. terror alert: Defence Minister Magashi
Bashir Magashi, the Minister of Defence, says his ministry is trying to verify the source of the terror alert issued by the United States.
Mr Magashi said this when he appeared before the House of Representatives committee on Army to defend the 2023 budget proposal for the ministry.
“The ministry is trying to verify the source of the threat, as well as countries that are also interested in the remarks made by the U.S. government,” he said.
On October 23, the U.S.Mission in Nigeria issued a security alert over the risk of terror attacks in Nigeria, especially in the Federal Capital Territory.
Mr Magashi promised not to take the current security alert threat lightly, saying security has been beefed up in the FCT and other neighbouring states of Nasarawa and Niger.
