The Ghanaian ministry also disowned a security update advising against non-essential trips to Abuja. The Ministry is which said it is not aware of any threat targeted at Ghanaians who continue to live in harmony with their Nigerian brothers and sisters, added that, it regrets any inconvenience such incidents may have caused to the travelling public.

However, Nigerian Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed dismissed the terror alerts, saying the government won’t be stampeded and that Nigeria is safer than in May 2015 when President Muhammadu Buhari came into office.
