IGP Orders Withdrawal Of Police Escorts From Fani-kayode, Babachir, 58 Others by valentineuwakwe(m): 6:09pm On Nov 07, 2020
The Inspector -General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has ordered the immediate withdrawal of police personnel attached to billionaire businessman , Emeka Offor; former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode; some clerics and companies across the country .
The directive affected 60 individuals , corporate and religious bodies including the Christ Embassy , Think Nigeria First Initiative , Uche Sylva International , Stanel Groups, KYC Holding , among others .
Other persons on the list include former Secretary to the Government of the Federation , Babachir Lawal ; Sen Lado Yakubu, Amb . Yuguda Bashir, Uche Chukwu, Sen. Boroface Ajayi , Mutiu Nicholas , Sen. Tokunbo Afikuyomi , Edozie Madu , David Adesanya, Chris Giwa , Chief Godwin Ekpo , Chief Pius Akinyelure and others.
This was contained in a letter with reference no .CB : 4001 /IGP .SEC / ABJ/VOL. 116/ 32 dated November 4, addressed to Commissioners of Police , Police Mobile Force , Special Protection Unit and all Commissioners of Police in the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory by the IG.
The PUNCH had reported that many dignitaries were still going around with their police security despite the withdrawal of the personnel by the IG during the #EndSARS protests .
The police boss had in a police wireless message dated October 21, 2020, addressed to all state Commissioners of Police ordered them to immediately withdraw the personnel attached to individuals , warning that “ any commander who violates this order will bear the consequences. ”
But in the latest directive signed by the Principal Staff Officer to the IGP, DCP Idowu Owohunwa on November 4, the police listed the names of VIPs affected by the withdrawal of orderlies.
The letter titled, ‘ Immediate withdrawal of police personnel attached to unentitled corporate entities/ individuals ,’ read in part, “ The attention of the IGP has been drawn to the fact that the police personnel attached to the corporate bodies and personalities are yet to be withdrawn despite extant directives to that effect.

“ In line with the subsisting order, the IG directs that you 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 IG further directed the senior officers to submit a report confirming compliance not later than November 10.
A retired Deputy Inspector-General of Police ( Operations ) , Adedayo Adeoye had endorsed the withdrawal of the policemen attached to politicians, noting that the Special Protection Unit responsible for giving out police orderlies should be scrapped .
He argued that the politicians have more policemen than the majority of Nigerians, noting that the rich could afford to hire private security for their protection.
Adeoye described the deployment of policemen to guard VIPs as a waste of manpower , stressing that only those constitutionally required to have police orderlies such as the President, Vice President, Senate President, the Speaker, House of Representatives, the Chief Justice of Nigeria and state governors should enjoy special police protection.

Am happy for this only because we dont have enough police manpower, if not, this is outright set up to prepare for more brutalities against the citizens.

Even with setting them up

You won't still have enough police to kill Nigerians.

All the police attaxhed to them can't be more than 10k.

So withdrawing them won't add anything to the police force.

Instead of police assuring Nigerians that they have turned new leaf, they are trying to impose show of force on us.

This IG is a complete failure.

An IG that can order for the arrest of a girl because she posted her own picture on her own twitter page and some people got angry.

Does it not show the IG have very serious misplaced priorities?
