Insecurity: Nigerians Roast Lai Mohammed As Military Take Over Abuja

There has been a significant military deployment of combat Special Forces in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in response to the US Embassy’s ongoing terror threats, which has led some Nigerians to question which side they should support.

The United States had sent a security notice, but Lai Muhammed, the minister of information and culture, dismissed it, claiming that the country was secure and that such intelligence was unreliable.

At least 35 terror suspects were reportedly apprehended at their various hideouts two days later as a result of an ongoing counterintelligence operation coordinated by the Department of State Services (DSS), the National Intelligence Agency, police, and other security agencies.

According to reports, they are detained at the DSS facility.

Some Nigerians have expressed their opinions in response to the recent series of events, and they have corroborated that there were many fully equipped security personnel present on Friday night in some hotspot areas in the FCT.

The Federal Government’s response to the US intelligence and their refusal to take preventative measures to stop the infiltration of non-state actors into the FCT drew diverse views on the macroblogging app Twitter.

Anaedoonline.ng received feedback from Deji Adesogan, a military and security affairs analyst, who revealed in a post that the terror suspects were detained as a result of profiling. These are their responses:

A tweep @peccaviConsults asked, “Please I am confused, police and DSS Launch counter-terror drill, minister of communication says nothing to worry about, President says nothing to worry about. Police special forces launch Op MopThemAll. Does anybody talk to anybody on this government?”

Another tweep @abdvlkadr stated, “You actually expect any government worldwide to tell its citizens to worry then ask its security operatives to relax when there’s a threat? This is standard protocol no need to throw the masses into a frenzy.”

Also, @Are_dion stated, “ If the US had not sent memo or the memo was not leaked, would they have MopDemAll? I don’t know who is in charge of our security, but people are using them to do politics, which is sad.”

Then @ProfCS5 said, “So US advisory was not baseless as Lai would prefer to have us believe!”

But @Blakjizuz noted, “The DSS started their arrests since before your US sent its memo and alert.”

Similarly, @OttakuSenshi said, “ I never trusted anything the US government said. This is a bit far-fetched, but why does it feel like they got info that the DSS was about to engage in this exercise so they sent out the warning to covertly notify their terror agents to lay low/leave the country?

Another tweep pointed, “I hope we don’t allow another prison break after all these. It is clear the nation’s CTU is compromised. Nobody in government ever gets arrested.
