The President has asked Nigerians to help watch and make sure people follow the order to remove police protection for VIPs.
This message came from the President’s Media and Public Communication Adviser, Daniel Bwala, during a TV interview on Sunday.
He said the government is serious about making this happen and wants people to take pictures or videos if they see someone breaking the rule.
Bwala said, “If you see a celebrity, a business person, or anyone else with police protection that’s against the president‘s order, do your best to take proof, like a photo or video.”
He also said the order doesn’t mean all government workers lose their security.
“The president‘s order to take away police from VIPs is not for everyone in government. There are still important people who will have some kind of protection,” he added.
Bwala added that other security agencies, such as the State Security Service (SSS) and Civil Defence, would provide protection where necessary.
“It could be SSS, Civil Defence, and not the police who will be there to help you. But police have no business being with you,” he said.
The directive reflects the administration’s ongoing efforts to rationalise the use of police resources and ensure that the force focuses on public safety rather than VIP protection.
