President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered the withdrawal of police officers currently assigned to guard VIPs and directed that they be redeployed to core policing duties nationwide.
Key Highlights
Police personnel attached to VIPs will be reassigned to frontline policing roles.
VIPs who still require protection must now request armed security from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) instead of the police.
The decision was announced during a high-level security meeting in Abuja attended by service chiefs, the IGP, and the DSS DG.
Purpose of the Directive
The move aims to:
Increase police presence across communities.
Improve security in remote and underserved areas.
Better utilise police manpower at a time of rising security threats.
Additional Measures
Tinubu approved the recruitment of 30,000 new police officers.
The federal government will partner with state governments to upgrade police training schools nationwide.
According to presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, the directive is part of the administration’s strategy to strengthen security operations and ensure that the police focus squarely on their core mandate.
