The Turkish Ambassador-designate to Nigeria, Mehmet Poroy, has warned that members of a terrorist group known as the Fethullah Terrorist Organisation, FETO Terrorist, exist in Nigeria and also operate in other countries around the world.
Poroy says the terrorist group is using schools and health services as a cover for its operations in the country.
Poroy said this on Tuesday night in Abuja at a dinner organised by the Turkish Embassy to mark the country’s Democracy and National Unity Day.
The FETO terrorists allegedly orchestrated a failed coup in Turkey in 2016 and Poroy says members of the Gülen movement, which sponsored the coup, are still being captured and arrested globally; warning that their presence in any country poses a serious national threat.
