Turkey extends coup clampdown to Nigeria, wants 17 “Turkish” schools in Nigeria, closed

Yesterday, the Government of Turkey said it had alerted the FG on the existence of schools and hospitals owned by suspected terrorists in Nigeria. It demanded that the facilities be shut down.

The Ambassador of Turkey to Nigeria, Hakan Cakil, while speaking to the Vice Chairman, Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, Senator Shehu Sani, said the owners of the 17 schools sponsored the recent coup in Turkey.

 

According to him, investigations by the Turkish government showed that a movement led by US-based Fethullah Gulen was responsible for the failed coup attempt.

 

 

He said the Turkish government was dissociating itself from any school bearing the country’s name in Nigeria, adding that while the country had schools in other countries, it had none in Nigeria.

His words: “We are requesting the Nigerian Government to close down the schools. In Nigeria, there are 17 schools, which belong to the Gulen Movement, one in Kano, one in Kaduna, one in Abuja, Lagos etc and they are offering scholarships.
