Iran has denied it has any terror cell in Lagos or in any other part of Nigeria. The government of Iran released a statement saying Western media and Nigerian media are not faithful to media professionalism for not looking into the issue properly before broadcasting the lies.
Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said such allegations were "made up as the result of the ill will of the enemies of the two countries' good relations", Iranian state television reported.
"Iran and Nigeria have friendly and close relations and despite the vast efforts of the two countries' enemies in recent years relations and cooperation have always improved," he said.
Iran says the West, especially the United States is behind the series of deceit and lies to destabilise the peaceful and cordial relations between the Islamic Republic and Nigeria. Earlier in the week, the SSS released a report that Iranian Terror Cell was uncovered in Lagos.
This report came a day after Nigeria signed a Memorandum of Understanding on irrigation farming with Israel. Putting prejudice and propaganda apart, Iran has continued to be a rational player in the world. It has never attacked a country or forcefully remove any regime.
Everyone in the world knows the whole noise and saga about Iran's Nuclear Programme and the various tactics employed by Washington and Tel Aviv to label Iran an outlaw nation in the world. Washington had earlier lied claiming Iran wanted to attack a Saudi Embassy. The whole allegation died on falsehood.
Iran, though might be against the US and Israel but has never launched any direct attack straightforwardly on any country or does any directly linked to it. America and Israel simply want to make Nigeria an accomplice and in the end destabilise Nigeria rather than blackmail Iran.
