Federal Government on Wednesday formally dismissed threats by bandits to kidnap President Muhammadu Buhari as “mere propaganda”, describing it as “laughable.”
Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed stated this while fielding questions from journalists at the end of the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, in Abuja.
