President Bola Tinubu has ordered the withdrawal of police personnel from VIP security duties.

The President gave the order during a security meeting with service chiefs including the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu; the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke; the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun; and the Director-General of the Department of State Services, Tosin Adeola Ajayi.

The meeting comes on the heels of the waves of abduction and security threats across the country.

President Tinubu directed that henceforth, police authorities will deploy their personnel to concentrate on their core police duties.

According to him, VIPs who want police protection will now request well-armed personnel from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.

A statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, shortly after the meeting notes that many parts of Nigeria, especially remote areas, have few policemen at the stations, thus making the task of protecting and defending the people difficult.

“In view of the current security challenges facing the country, President Tinubu is desirous of boosting police presence in all communities.

“Already, President Tinubu has approved the recruitment of 30,000 additional police officers. The federal government is also collaborating with the states to upgrade police training facilities nationwide,” he said.

This is a very bold and patriotic move to free up our security agencies to focus on their core duties. I commend President Tinubu for this.
