The police said the withdrawal process had commenced with a comprehensive report that has been submitted by the committee assigned to oversee the seamless implementation of this directive.
The police also noted that it has made relevant provisions for the security of important personalities and critical infrastructures who are entitled to such protection.
“The IGP, therefore, urges the public and all stakeholders to support and cooperate with the Nigeria Police Force during this transition period to strengthen the security apparatus and create a safer environment for everyone to thrive,” the police said on Monday.
Nigeria anticipates the mobilization of a 40,000-specialized Quick Intervention Squad in line with the IGP’s directives.
A total of 1000 officers would be sent to each state as a standby force while 4000 would be deployed to volatile areas of the country.
