Turkish Ambassador-designate to Nigeria, Mehmet Poroy, disclosed this in Abuja at a dinner organised by the Turkish Embassy to mark the country’s Democracy and National Unity Day.

The Turkish government disclosed that the coup was successfully quelled by the collective resistance of its patriotic forces and citizens, who resisted the mutiny against the government of President Recep Erdoğan.

According to Ambassador Poroy, members of the Gülen movement, which sponsored the coup, are still being captured and arrested globally; hence, their presence in any country poses a serious national threat.

“They are still being captured and arrested today. The presence of such an organisation poses a threat to every country in which it operates.
“Unfortunately, the FETO terrorist organisation still maintains its activities in Nigeria, particularly in the fields of education and healthcare.
“We consistently inform our Nigerian friends about the nature and dangers of this organisation, and urge them to remain vigilant and cautious,” Poroy affirmed.

He, however, stressed that the group’s international structures have not been fully dismantled globally.
