The Acting Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has ordered increased security surveillance nationwide, with special attention to the North Central, North East, and North West regions following rising tensions in the Middle East.
The directive was announced on Sunday in a statement issued by the spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, Benjamin Hundeyin.
According to the statement, Commissioners of Police across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory have been instructed to step up intelligence operations, deepen engagement with traditional and religious leaders, and enhance visible policing around places of worship and other public locations.
The order was issued shortly after members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria held a peaceful protest.
The IGP cautioned that any effort to use international developments as a pretext to stir unrest or sectarian conflict within Nigeria would attract decisive legal action. He reassured citizens that the country remains secure and that the police are fully committed to protecting lives and property.
