The United Nations’ Security Chief, Gregory Starr, on Sunday said the United Nations country office’s security team discussed the “general” threats it received with Nigerian officials a month ago.

He, however, declined to be specific of the threats or the officials involved in the discussions.

Starr said this while responding to questions from journalists during a press conference addressed by the visiting Deputy Secretary-General of the UN, Dr. Asha-Rose Migiro, in Abuja.

He said, “I will not discuss the specifics of these threats. However, about a month ago, we received general threats.

“It was very general, it was non-specific, it did not give us any details.

“Nevertheless, the security apparatus here did in fact, inform the host government; we can’t figure out specific actions that were taken.

“These are general threats we receive from UN offices all over the world.”
