The warning came in response to remarks by Turkish Ambassador-designate to Nigeria, Mehmet Poroy, who alleged that the Fethullah Terrorist Organisation (FETO), which Turkey proscribes, is operating within Nigeria through schools and healthcare institutions.
Poroy made the claim during a dinner in Abuja on Tuesday, July 15, to mark Turkey’s Democracy and National Unity Day.
“The presence of such an organisation poses a threat to every country in which it operates… particularly in the fields of education and healthcare,” he said.
He further stated that Turkey had been sharing intelligence with Nigeria and urged authorities to “remain vigilant and cautious.”
