PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE ON WITHDRAWAL OF POLICE PERSONNEL FROM VIP ESCORT DUTIES: NIGERIA POLICE FORCE RECORDS HIGH LEVEL OF COMPLIANCE The Nigeria Police Force wishes to inform the general public that, in strict compliance with the directive of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, prohibiting the deployment of police personnel for VIP escort and guard duties, the Force Headquarters constituted a special enforcement team to monitor and ensure total adherence to the presidential order. On 6th December 2025, commencing at about 1000 hours, the enforcement team carried out an extensive monitoring exercise across key locations in Lagos State, including the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge, the Domestic Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, and several other strategic points. The exercise revealed a satisfactory and commendable level of compliance by officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force. No case of unauthorised deployment of police personnel for VIP escort duties was recorded during the monitoring, and consequently, no arrest was made. The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, reiterates the Force’s commitment to the full implementation of the presidential directive. The Nigeria Police Force remains resolute in redeploying its personnel to core policing duties aimed at enhancing general security, crime prevention, and protection of lives and property across the country. Members of the public are assured that the Nigeria Police Force will continue to enforce this policy nationwide without fear or favour and urges continued support as the Force works towards a more professional, efficient, and citizen-centered policing system.

Nigeria Targets Stronger Domestic Funding to Achieve Universal Health Coverage The Nigerian government has announced plans to bolster domestic resource mobilization for healthcare as international grants and donor aid continue to decline, emphasizing the need for greater local ownership to attain Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Speaking at the 9th Annual Health Conference of the Association of Nigerian Health Journalists (ANHeJ), Dr. Salma Ibrahim Anas, Special Adviser to the President on Health, said sustainable financing must come primarily from within the country to ensure accountability and long-term progress. Key measures highlighted include: Strengthening the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF); Expanding financial protection mechanisms under the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) Act; Introducing innovative revenue streams, such as the Sugar-Sweetened Beverages (SSB) Tax. Stakeholders at the conference stressed that state governments must take greater responsibility for health financing. They renewed calls for states to meet the Abuja Declaration commitment of allocating at least 15% of their annual budgets to the health sector. With external funding becoming increasingly unpredictable, experts warn that without urgent and substantial increases in domestic investment, Nigeria risks falling further behind on its UHC goals.

Edo Civil Society Condemns Assault on Journalist, Warns Against Rising ‘Digital Slap’ Culture The Edo State Civil Society Coalition for Human Rights has condemned the alleged assault on journalist Mrs. Juliet Enabulele by suspended Public Safety Response Team coordinator, Kelly Okungbowa (Ebo Stone). The group described the attack as a violation of human dignity, press freedom, and the rule of law, expressing concern that senior political figures in Edo State are normalizing violence through the celebration of so-called “digital slaps.” The coalition urged Governor Monday Okpebholo to distance his administration from the incident, ensure accountability, and uphold constitutional protections for journalists. The group also demanded a transparent investigation, an end to political glorification of violence, and stronger protection for media workers. This follows a similar incident in which APC leaders publicly celebrated and financially rewarded an assault on an APC critic in Manchester, UK. #Edojournalistassault #JulietEnabulele

Nigerian Whistleblower Nnamdi Emeh Wins Global Prize While Detained for Exposing Police Organ Trafficking Blueprint for Free Speech has honoured Nigerian whistleblower Nnamdi Emeh with a 2025 global Whistleblowing Prize, even as he remains imprisoned despite a court-ordered bail. Emeh, 26, exposed a notorious police-led organ trafficking and extortion ring in Anambra State, triggering international attention and investigations. After fleeing Nigeria, he was arrested on an Interpol Red Notice in 2023 and charged with offences civil society groups describe as fabricated retaliation. Despite meeting bail conditions, he has remained in detention for nearly three years amid alleged assassination attempts, court obstruction, and claims that implicated officers were promoted instead of prosecuted. Rights groups say the case exposes deepening impunity in the Nigerian security system and poses a critical test for whistleblower protection and rule of law in the country. #NnamdiEmeh #NigerianWhistleblower #PoliceOrgantraffickingNigeria #BlueprintforFreeSpeechPrize #WhistleblowingAwards2025 #AnambraPoliceAtrocities #ExtrajudicialKillingsNigeria #InterpolRedNoticeNigeria #WhistleblowerRetaliation #HumanRightsAbusesNigeria #AwkaCorrectionalCentre #RULAAC #PPLAAF #PoliceCorruptionNigeria #WhistleblowerProtectionAfrica #NigerianJusticeSystemFailures

Police Warn Officers Against Escorting VIPs in Mufti, Threaten Sanctions The Nigeria Police Force has issued a fresh directive cautioning its personnel against escorting Very Important Persons (VIPs) while dressed in mufti, describing the practice as a clear breach of existing operational orders. In a wireless message from the Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Protection at Force Headquarters, Abuja, the Police High Command expressed concern that, despite repeated warnings, some officers continue to accompany VIPs in plain clothes in violation of the Special Protection Unit (SPU) guidelines. The directive, circulated to all Police Protection Units nationwide, emphasized that any officer found flouting the rule will face strict disciplinary action. #Nigeria #Police #Security #BreakingNews

Ondo Community Leader’s Home Set Ablaze After Clash With Tantita Coordinator, Victim Accuses Police of Bias Tension has erupted in Okitipupa, Ondo State, after the home of community leader Oloja Ayodele Omodogbe was allegedly torched hours following a confrontation with Idowu Asonja, the Ondo State Coordinator of Tantita Security Services—an oil pipeline protection firm owned by ex-militant Tompolo. Omodogbe said the conflict began when armed men accompanying Asonja forcefully broke into the residence of his CSO, assaulting him and causing panic. He alleged that Asonja later issued threats, boasting of his ability to kill without consequences. Around 1 a.m., part of Omodogbe’s home went up in flames, destroying cash, property, and a POS machine. The next morning, Omodogbe claims Asonja returned with escorts and openly admitted to burning the house in the presence of police officers, who allegedly failed to act. Audio evidence purportedly capturing threats from Asonja has emerged, but police response has been muted, with calls to the PPRO unanswered. Omodogbe has reported the matter to local authorities and the Jegun of Idepe Okitipupa, expressing fear for his life amid continued threats.

Nigeria Grants Asylum to Guinea-Bissau Presidential Candidate at Embassy The Federal Government of Nigeria has granted temporary asylum to Guinea-Bissau opposition presidential candidate Fernando Dia Da Costa, offering him protection inside the Nigerian Embassy in Bissau amid credible reports of threats to his life. The decision was formally communicated in a letter dated November 30, 2025, from Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs to the President of the ECOWAS Commission. Al-Kasim Abdulkadir, Media Aide to the Minister, confirmed the move, stating that granting refuge to Mr Da Costa “falls squarely within Nigeria’s sovereign responsibility and its longstanding commitment to regional peace, stability, and democratic governance.” He emphasised that the intervention is aimed at de-escalating tensions in Guinea-Bissau, promoting social cohesion, and preventing further instability in the West African sub-region. “This action is guided solely by the imperatives of peace, human security, and regional stability, in full alignment with ECOWAS principles and Nigeria’s historic role as a stabilising force in West Africa,” Abdulkadir added the development comes ahead of Guinea-Bissau’s presidential run-off election scheduled for later this month, in which Mr Da Costa is a leading contender.

Presidency urges Nigerians to report violations of President Tinubu’s VIP police withdrawal order after citizens raised concerns over police escorts seen with billionaire Cubana Chiefpriest. The Presidency has called on Nigerians to help ensure full compliance with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s directive ordering the withdrawal of police escorts from Very Important Persons (VIPs). President Tinubu had instructed that police personnel attached to VIPs across the country be reassigned to core policing duties. Following the directive, the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, on Thursday confirmed that 11,566 officers previously assigned as escorts had been withdrawn nationwide. Speaking during a TVC interview on Sunday, Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Media and Public Communication to the President, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to enforcing the order and urged citizens to document any violations. “If you identify a celebrity, a private sector person, or any individual who has police against the executive order of the president, as much as you can, capture evidence, whether a photograph or video,” Bwala said. He stressed that the directive does not affect all government officials, noting that some key figures will continue to receive necessary security protection. “The order of the president to withdraw police from VIPs is not all-encompassing. There are critical people in government who will still have one form of security or another.” Bwala added that other security agencies, including the State Security Service (SSS) and the Civil Defence Corps, would provide protection where required. “It could be SSS, Civil Defence, and not the police who will be there to help you. But police have no business being with you,” he said.

What Nigerians Can Do To Help President Tinubu Make Nigeria Secure Again It is not an overstatement to say that President Tinubu was created to lead our nation at a time like this. His declaration of a National Security Emergency and the powerful, actionable steps contained therein show that we finally have a leader with the political will and tactical ability to bell the cat that has proven most stubborn and elusive in the past. For too long, we have had a numbers challenge—i.e., we did not have enough troops to physically secure a population of 235 million with a landmass of almost 1 million square kilometres. Today, the President has provided strong leadership to address this lacuna in our national security architecture. And right-thinking Nigerians are grateful for this step to address this hateful scourge. Already, we have seen results in the recent and decent rescue of students in Kebbi State and worshippers in Kwara State. It is certain that more Tinubu wins will come. This recruitment into our military and paramilitary forces, along with the recall of 100,000 police officers previously on VIP protection detail, is a welcome development and step in the right direction that all Nigerians should support. I urge our people to enlist in our Army, Airforce, Navy, Police and paramilitary agencies. Furthermore, President Bola Tinubu taking the issue of State Police to the National Assembly in his National Emergency on Security is the most radically progressive step a Nigerian leader has done in the War on Terror since 1999. I not only commend the President, but also join in appealing to Parliament to make haste and hearken to, as well as hearten to, the President's call. If they do this, this tenth National Assembly will be the greatest Legislature in the history of democratic governance in Nigeria. I call on all Nigerians who want a secure country to contact their Senators and Representatives and ask them to support President Tinubu's initiative. Together, we can help the President fulfil his vision to secure Nigeria. Once again, we plead with the National Assembly to employ all means, including the Doctrine of Necessity. The nation will be on a sounder footing if our Parliament gives the right hand of fellowship to the President and helps make Nigeria Secure Again! Reno Omokri Gospeller. Deep Thinker. #TableShaker.
