President Tinubu orders withdrawal of police officers guarding VIPs, NSCDC officers to now replace security details of VIPs

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered the withdrawal of police officers currently providing security for Very Important Persons in the country. A statement from presidential aide, Bayo Onanuga, said the directive was issued at the security meeting President Tinubu held on Sunday November 23 with the police, Air Force, army chiefs and the Director-General of the Department of State Services, DSS, in Abuja.

Henceforth, police authorities will deploy them to concentrate on their core police duties

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

‘’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.’’ Onanuga said

Sunday’s meeting was attended by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt 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.

Deji-Sowore mentioned this. It's time for NSCDC to chop. One Nijeriya is nearing its expiration.

Awesome!! This is absolutely brilliant 👏

There has been clamor for this for long but unlike his predecessors, Asiwaju Tinubu provided alternatives to protecting these important Nigerians.

The police officers are clearly underutilized as bodyguards. NSDC will need to recruit more as it is taking up more assignments from mining marshals now to VIP security.
