Nigeria’s president redirects police from VIP protection to combat insecurity, assigning NSCDC to guard elites, sparking concerns over uneven enforcement.
President Bola Tinubu has directed the redeployment of police officers from VIP protection duties to combat rising insecurity, instructing the NSCDC to take over security for high-profile individuals.
The move, part of a broader security overhaul, aims to redirect resources toward fighting kidnapping and terrorism.
While the government asserts that all VIPs remain protected, concerns have emerged over inconsistent implementation, with some officials and lawmakers reporting continued police escorts for ministers and political elites.
Senator Abdul Ningi criticized the selective enforcement, calling for equitable application of the directive, which the Senate leadership acknowledged and pledged to investigate.
The president emphasized that only he can approve special security arrangements, and a high-level committee will review national security structures, including arming forest guards and resolving grazing conflicts.
