While the US permitted non-critical personnel in the country to leave, the UK had advised its citizens to refrain from making “non-essential” moves in the federal capital territory (FCT).
In response, President Muhammadu Buhari said that despite the terror alerts, no attacks are about to happen.
But this does not always portend a coming attack in Abuja. Security measures have been strengthened in and around the FCT since the jail raid in July, he had previously stated.
“Heightened monitoring and interception of terrorist communications ensure potential threats are caught further upstream. Attacks are being foiled.”
Speaking with reporters after a security meeting at the instance of Buhari at the presidential villa on Monday, Monguno said the Nigerians are not in danger.
The NSA urged Nigerians to go about their lives, adding that the security agencies are putting measures in place to forestall any attack.
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), Ibrahim Gambari, chief of staff to the president, and the service chiefs were among those present at the meeting.
