The Federal Government has vowed to deal decisively with any person or group involved in hate speech or inciting the public to cause breakdown of law and order.

The Minister of Interior, Lt.-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau (rtd), gave the warning at a media briefing on Friday in Abuja.

Dambazau said that the warning became necessary following series of threats and counter-threats directed at ethnic groups and the need to maintain law and order.

He said that as the minister responsible for public safety and security,‎ proactive measures had been put in place to ensure safety of lives and property of Nigerians irrespective of their ethnic groups and where they resided.
