Mohammed had accused Secondus of collecting N200 million from the Office of the National Security Adviser under Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd).

Secondus is asking for, aside from retraction, an apology and a N1.5 billion, failing which he will sue the minister.
He said legal proceedings will commence in 72 hours if the minister fails to carry out the demands in the letter.
