The Nigeria Police Force has reassured Nigerians and visitors that it will effectively review the US’s security advisory which indicated an elevated risk of terror attacks in the country, particularly in the capital city of Abuja.
In a statement by the Force Spokesman Olumuyiwa Adejobi on Monday, the police said a review of the advisory is necessary due to the fact that “Police as the lead agency in internal security, will not take any threat intelligence, either actionable or not, for granted; thus, there is no cause for alarm as all hands are on deck to collectively nip threats in the bud.”
He quoted the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Usman Alkali Baba as ordering the Commissioner of Police in charge of the Federal Capital Territory, heads of tactical squads domiciled in the FCT, and other State Command CPs to restrategize security management within their jurisdictions, as the Force Headquarters will continually avail them with the required support, logistics, and deployments necessary for providing safety to all and sundry in Nigeria.
According to him, the NPF will continually work with other security agencies to make every part of Nigeria safe, especially the FCT.
