Enenche dismissed the claim as nothing but just an alarm and that Nigerian security agencies were equal to the task, and would not handle it with kid gloves.
“From the report I have, it is just that one where the U.S. AFRICOM advised and cautioned us about, so I believe that is what people are magnifying. But I can tell you that we have put machinery in place together with other security agencies.
