Edet made the remark following a threat by the sect to invade Lagos to free its detained contributors.
“it's not the primary time they have threatened. The Federal executive, which the navy serves, takes any danger to lives and property significantly. We have now been putting efforts on ground and that has made them not to achieve Lagos,” he mentioned in step with The Nation.
“we've got been arresting Boko Haram factors nearly on a day-to-day basis given that I came to Lagos. I've said so in one in every of my press statements. We have now been doing this without the threats made in the press. So, what we do isn’t what we should put up within the media. We take no risk frivolously,” he added.
