The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has ordered the immediate withdrawal of police personnel attached to Femi Fani-Kayode, Honourable Abiola Sidna Peller, Senator Magnus Abe, Emeka Offor and others.
The IGP directive also affected corporate and religious bodies like Christ Embassy, Think Nigeria First Initiative, Uche Sylva International, Stanel Groups, KYC Holdings, as well as Sheiks and Bishops and many others.
Some other personalities on the list include: Senator Lado Yakubu, Ambassador Yuguda Bashir, Honourable Uche Chukwu, Senator Boroface Ajayi, Honourable Mutiu Nicholas, Senator Tokumbo Fikayomi, Edozie Madu, David Adesanya, Honourable Chris Giwa, Chief Godwin Ekpo, and Chief Pius Akinyelure.
IGP Adamu, during the End SARS protest in October, ordered the withdrawal of police escorts attached to VIPs.
However, according to a police letter signed by DCP Idowu Owohunwa, the Principal Staff Officer to the IGP, on November 4, said the attention of the IGP has been drawn to the fact that the police personnel attached to the corporate bodies and personalities were yet to be withdrawn in spite of extant directives to that effect.
In the letter tagged CB: 4001/IGP.SEC/ABJ/VOL.116/32 and made available to CP PMF, CP SPU, CP CPU and all Commissioners of Police in the 36 states and the FCT, it was directed, in line with the subsisting order, that commanders withdraw all the PMF, SPU, CTU, or conventional police operations attached to the affected companies or individuals in any of their locations across the country with immediate effect.
The statement reports that the concerned commanders are to submit a report confirming compliance to the office of the IGP, not later than Tuesday, November 10.
