Lai Mohammed Cries Out

Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture has cried out and has denied the report on social media that he threatened that Nigeria would send missile to Israel if the run-away leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu was not released to Nigeria to continue with his prosecution.

He lamented saying; “I was in London when I heard the story about Nnamdi Kanu surfacing in Israel. I was not in a position to make any statement. But before I knew it, within a few hours, I saw my picture with a story saying that I had actually given Israel ultimatum to return Nnamdi Kanu otherwise, we will send them missiles.”

“I just laughed. It speaks to what we are talking about fake news because it is probably the biggest threat in the run-up to the elections. Having said that, I have nothing more to add to the issue of Nnamdi Kanu. At the appropriate time, the various authorities will make a statement about the issue of Kanu.”

“But this has proven that all along when Kanu disappeared and the mob was asking the Nigerian army to account for the whereabouts of Kanu; I kept saying that Kanu knows where he is. He was not in the custody of the Federal Government. We have been vindicated today. Any other statement will be made in due course.”
