Senator Ndume Criticizes Excessive Security Convoys, President Tinubu Orders Withdrawal

Senator Ndume criticized the excessive security details accompanying top government officials, such as President Bola Tinubu, stating that the heavy protection leaves ordinary citizens exposed. He emphasized the need for security efforts to focus on protecting the overall environment rather than individual persons.

Ndume recounted instances where even junior lawmakers had large security details. In response, President Tinubu ordered the withdrawal of police officers from VIP escort duties.

Special Adviser to the President, Bayo Onanuga, directed the redeployment of police manpower to core law enforcement responsibilities.
