The acting Inspector General of Police, Tunji Disu, has directed Commissioners of Police across the country to strengthen security measures in response to rising tensions in the Middle East. The directive was announced on Sunday as part of proactive efforts to safeguard national stability.
According to a statement by Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, the move is aimed at preventing any potential fallout from global developments. Police commands in the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory have been placed on alert.
Commissioners have been instructed to intensify surveillance and intelligence gathering, boost visible policing around worship centres and public spaces, and work closely with traditional and religious leaders. Special attention is being given to the North West, North East and North Central zones.
