Former Presidential Adviser on Political Matters, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has warned that Nigeria could face dangers amid global tensions following the US and Israeli attack on Iran.

He said, “Nigeria too is in trouble. We are not safe with what is going on in Iran. The world is aware that two days ago, the United States and Israel attacked Iran, killing its leader, senior political and military officers, and other citizens.
