Frank Mba, force public relations
officer, says Nigeria is one of the most beautiful places to live in.
Mba, who was reacting to a travel
advisory the UK authorities issued to British citizens, said despite the
security challenges in Nigeria, the country is peaceful.
The foreign commonwealth office
had listed 21 of the 36 states in the country as safe but the force spokesman
dismissed the position.
“The attention of the Nigeria
Police Force has been drawn to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advice
against all travel to some States and border areas in Nigeria,” he said in a
statement.
“While the Nigeria Police
acknowledge that Nigeria is not without some security challenges, just like
other nations of the World, including the advanced democracies, we wish to
restate that Nigeria remains one of the most beautiful places to live in the
world.
“It is a safe country with its
own peculiar socio-economic and security challenges.
“We therefore wish to reassure
Nigerians and the International Community of their safety and the commitment of
the Police and other security agencies to continue to provide effective
security services to the nation.”
