The Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, re-echoed the military warning to dissident groups that any threats to the transition programme and by extension to democracy in the country would be crushed.
Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Faruk Yahaya, had earlier threatened to crack down on potential threats to national security and warned troublemakers not to test the will of the military.
Gusau, while responding to inquiries on the threats to the inauguration, explained that the military stood by the warning it earlier issued to groups calling for an interim government.
Also addressing journalists at a press briefing at the Force Headquarters, Louis Edet House, Abuja, the IGP said the police and other security agencies are ready to deal with aggrieved political actors and their supporters plotting to scuttle the swearing-in programme.
