Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, on Monday, described as
inappropriate the United States warning of an impending terror attack on
two hotels in the state.
The
governor spoke with newsmen in Ikeja after handing over 100 patrol vans
and 150 motorcycles to the state police command to enhance its
operational efficiency.
The governor said the warning was wrongly channelled and that it was capable of creating panic and confusion in the country.
Fashola said the United States should have followed due diplomatic
process by sharing such privileged information with the home government,
rather than making it public.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that the US Embassy in
Nigeria, had claimed in an email on May 2, that terror groups were
planning an attack on the Sheraton Hotels in Lagos.
“There is no further information regarding the timing and method of the attack.
“US citizens are cautioned to avoid the hotels at this time,” said the embassy’s e-mail advisory.
