Breaking: Tinubu Orders Withdrawal of Police Officers from VVIPs

Wale busari02 mins

President Bola Tinubu has directed that police officers be withdrawn from VIP protection duties to strengthen security across communities. The instruction was issued during a security meeting with top service chiefs, including Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, Chief of Air Staff Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, and Director-General of the Department of State Services Tosin Adeola Ajayi. The move comes amid rising abductions and security threats nationwide. Going forward, VIPs seeking protection will be required to request well-armed personnel from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, allowing the police to focus on their primary duties. Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, noted that many areas, especially remote communities, have limited police presence, making it difficult to ensure public safety. “In view of the current security challenges facing the country, President Tinubu is keen on boosting police presence in all communities. He has approved the recruitment of 30,000 additional police officers and is working with states to upgrade police training facilities nationwide,” the statement added.

Kebbi Police Warn Against Protests Over Abducted Schoolgirls

Wale busari03 mins

The Kebbi State Police Command has cautioned groups and civil society organisations against staging any protest over the recent abduction of students from Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, warning that the current security climate is too unstable for public demonstrations. In a statement issued on Friday, the Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Nafiu Kotarkoshi, said intelligence reports showed that some groups and NGOs were already mobilising to begin protests “any moment from today.” He noted that while the command fully understands the distress felt by families and the wider public, holding protests at this time could heighten tension and disrupt the ongoing rescue mission. “The current situation is dicey for any protest or rally to hold, as it has the potential of instigating violence in the state. While we remain deeply concerned about the regrettable incident, it is misguided and counterproductive for any protest to hold, as it will undermine the unwavering commitment of the combined security team working tirelessly to rescue the kidnapped schoolgirls unhurt,” the statement read. The police command reaffirmed its commitment to protecting lives and property, assuring residents that security agencies are intensifying efforts to safely recover the abducted students. Kotarkoshi urged members of the public to stay calm, support security operations, and report any suspicious individuals or movements to the nearest police station. The students were abducted earlier in the week when armed men stormed the school in the Danko-Wasagu area, sparking nationwide concern and fresh calls for improved security in schools across the North-West.

Nasarawa Police Deny Reports Of St. Peter’s School Student Abduction

Wale busari02 mins

The Nasarawa State Police Command has dismissed claims that students of St. Peter’s Foundation Secondary School in Rukubi, Doma Local Government Area, were abducted on Friday. Police Public Relations Officer Ramhan Nansel said the reports circulating on social media and some news outlets are “false” and do not reflect the actual events. The confusion started when students heading to the school field for Physical and Health Education classes spotted armed hunters in the area. Fearing they were kidnappers, the students ran but were later safely escorted back to the school by teachers. Nansel stated that Commissioner of Police Shetima Jauro Mohammed promptly deployed a joint team of police and military personnel to the area after the initial report. “Upon arrival, it was confirmed that the pupils had mistaken hunters carrying Dane guns for kidnappers. The area was thoroughly searched, and normalcy was restored immediately,” the statement said. The school proprietor also confirmed that no abduction occurred, calling the reports false. Security operatives remain on alert to prevent any potential threats. The police urged the public to disregard the circulating rumors and advised journalists and media outlets to verify facts before reporting to avoid unnecessary panic. “The report is mere rumor and should not be treated as factual news,” the statement added.

VDM later confirmed the altercation on his social media, claiming he had “handled” the situation. Chibuike Uloka, UNA’s Public Relations Officer, stated that the airline crew acted quickly and professionally to calm the situation. Both men were deboarded prior to departure, and authorities were called in to manage the matter.
