Police to review U.S. Security Advisory, strengthen structures for proactiveness


The Nigeria Police Force, says it will effectively review the United States of America Embassy in Abuja's security advisory, which was widely circulated and published by the media on October 23rd, indicating an elevated risk of terror attacks in the country, particularly in the capital city of Abuja.

Fresh Angle International can report that the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement released today, Monday October 24, explained: “Review of the advisory is necessary due to the fact that Police, as the lead agency in internal security, will not take any threat intelligence, either actionable or not, for granted; thus, there is no cause for alarm as all hands are on deck to collectively nip threats in the bud”.

Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, has ordered the Commissioner of Police in charge of the Federal Capital Territory, heads of tactical squads domiciled in the FCT and other State Command CPs to re-strategize security management within their jurisdictions, saying, the Force Headquarters will continually avail them with required support, logistics, and deployments necessary for providing safety to all and sundry in Nigeria.

In furtherance of his zeal and strategies to decimate activities of non-state actors and other criminal elements in the FCT and other parts of the country, the IGP has announced the immediate commencement of a Counter Terrorism Incident Simulation Exercise codenamed "Operation Darkin Gaggawa".

The Counter Terrorism Incident Simulation Exercise codenamed, will hold within the Force Headquarters and the Police Officers Wives Association School opposite the Force Headquarters, Abuja, between Tuesday October 25 and Wednesday October 26. 

The exercise, will involve diversion of traffic, use of blank ammunition and other operational manpower and assets, and is designed to improve interoperability and synergy between different Units and Formations of the Force in response to terrorist incidents and other violent crimes. The NPF thereby urges the general public not to panic at the sounds of explosives and gunshots during the exercise.

The Inspector-General of Police, reiterated the commitment of his administration to ensuring safety of lives and property within the country via the effective deployment of tactical and operational assets for effective intelligence gathering and proactive policing. He further reassures Nigerians of a safe and secured country for all.
