President Tinubu Orders Withdrawal of Police Escorts from Ministers and Senior Officials

President Tinubu has reiterated the directive to withdraw police personnel from VIP escort duties for ministers and senior officials without explicit approval. The aim is to enhance professional police operations, strengthen internal security, and ensure frontline officers are available where needed.

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) will immediately deploy civil defense operatives to replace the withdrawn police escorts. This decision is part of a broader strategy to combat kidnapping and terrorism in critical areas.
