In apparent response to claims by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) that some states in Nigeria were unsafe, the police on Wednesday insisted that the country is safe and beautiful.

Admitting that the country was facing some security challenges, the police stated that Nigeria is one of the beautiful places in the world to live in.

The reaction came following a statement credited to FCO advising people not to travel to some states in the country.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office in a report titled ‘Nigeria travel advice’ on this link ‘https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/nigeria’  advised against all travel to Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe, riverine areas of Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River states and within 20 kilometre of the border with Niger in Zamfara State.

The FCO also advised against all but essential travel to Bauchi, Zamfara, Kano, Kaduna, Jigawa, Katsina, Kogi states, within 20 kilometre of the border with Niger in Sokoto and Kebbi states, non-riverine areas of Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers and Abia states.

Reacting to the travel advice through a statement in Abuja by the Force spokesman, Frank Mba, a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), said: “The attention of the police have been drawn to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advice against all travel to some States and border areas in Nigeria.

“While the Nigeria Police acknowledge that Nigeria is not without some security challenges, just like other nations of the world, including the advanced democracies, we wish to restate that Nigeria remains one of the most beautiful places to live in the world. It is a safe country with its own peculiar socio-economic and security challenges.

“We therefore wish to reassure Nigerians and the international community of their safety and the commitment of the police and other security agencies to continue to provide effective security services to the nation.”

I knew the moment the IGP got his confirmation as an IGp and no more Acting, his gra gra would reduce

if northerners could said Nigeria is safer now who am I to say otherwise

Believe this at your own detriment.

North- bokoharam and bandits
South- robbery, kidnapping, cult war.

There is no place that is safe in Nigeria, even the police station in an area is not safe.

BH is on next level killing spree all week long, armed bandits are on rampage nationwide while a minister son was kidnapped ystdy, yet Nigeria is safe
Yet the leadership of this nation go about with armed-to-the-teeth security details.What kind of weed are these idiots smoking? Nigeria need an awakening.

If Nigeria is indeed save, withdraw all the security attached to politicians

Abi no be same Nigeria where police stations close by 6pm before of because issues..
