The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has described the recent agitation for the Yoruba Nation as laughable.

The DHQ also raised the alarm that terrorists and their sympathisers were planning to blackmail the military following its onslaught on the insurgents.

Speaking during a press briefing in Abuja, the Director, of Defence Media Operations, Major General EDWARD BUBA said the agitation has further pointed out how the insecurity ravaging many parts of the country is self-inflicted.

He said bearing firearms against a constituted government is a serious offence, warning that anyone who does that would be severely dealt with.
