Abuja among world’s most secure capital cities; we have top intel to prevent attacks: Tinubu Govt

President Bola Tinubu-led administration has said that Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, is among world’s most secure capital cities, boasting of watertight intelligence to prevent attacks.
Reacting to U.S. security alert warning American citizens to avoid military bases and public facilities in Abuja, minister of information, Mohammed Idris, in a statement on Monday, said
“The federal government wishes to reaffirm its commitment to the safety of all residents and to maintaining Abuja’s reputation as one of the most secure capitals in the world.
“The current security architecture in Abuja has not only been proactive but has also recorded significant successes in detecting, preventing, and neutralising threats.”
He added, “While the federal government recognises and respects the right of foreign missions, including the U.S. Embassy, to issue travel advisories to their citizens, it is important to state categorically that Abuja remains safe for citizens, residents, and visitors alike.”
The minister of information further said “Nigeria’s security agencies are working around the clock to ensure the continued safety and protection of all residents of the FCT and across the country. Our security and intelligence agencies are monitoring developments across the country and are fully prepared to respond decisively to any threat.”
A few weeks ago, a suicide bomber was killed by the IED she carried at Mugadishu Barracks Abuja.
The U.S. security alert comes after Boko Haram suicide bomber killed over 20 in Borno over the weekend. It also followed the U.S. bombing of Iran nuclear facilities over the weekend.
Israel and Iran have been exchanging missiles for over a week, since last Friday after Israel first struck Iran and struck Iran’s nuclear and military complex, killing the country’s top three military officials and six nuclear scientists.
