The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba, has
ordered all Commissioners of Police (CPs), Tactical Commanders and their
supervising Assistant Inspectors-General of Police (AIGs) to boost security
around schools and colleges.
The Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), CSP Olumuyiwa
Adejobi, in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja also directed the review of
police personnel and operational assets deployments to schools and colleges
nationwide.
The IGP gave the order at a meeting of the Force Management
Team in Abuja.
He said the order followed a review of the general security
in the country, including the security of schools and colleges as a result of
some isolated incidences reported in some schools.
Adejobi stated that the decision was to protect schools and
colleges, particularly boarding schools, tertiary institutions, and their
campuses in areas prone to security breaches around the nation.
The IGP urged the CPs, Tactical Commanders, and their supervising
AIGs to employ all available options and think outside the box to increase
security in and around schools, colleges, and student-based communities.
The Police Airwing has also been ordered to extend its
aerial patrols to the six geo-political zones of the country.
IGP directed that all hands be on deck to provide a safe
environment for all students in various schools and colleges within Nigeria.
