IGP, Mohammed Adamu

The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has placed police commands and formations nationwide on red alert.

A statement by DCP Frank Mba, Force Public Relations Officer, Force Headquarters, Abuja, said this proactive measure follows intelligence report that sequel to the recent killing of an Iranian General by the United States, some domestic interests are planning to embark on massive public disturbances and sabotage.

“Consequently, Zonal AIGs and Command Commissioners of Police have been directed to ensure maximum surveillance and security of lives and property across the nation.

“The police commanders have been directed to ensure strategic deployments of both overt and covert police operatives to ensure adequate security and safety of citizens, foreigners especially diplomats and diplomatic missions domiciled in Nigeria as well as the protection of critical national assets”, the statement noted.

Meanwhile, the IGP has assured all Nigerians and foreigners resident in Nigeria of adequate security.

He has equally warned all potential troublemakers to steer clear of the streets and territory of Nigeria.

Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds military force and one of the most powerful figures in the Islamic Republic, was killed early Friday in an American airstrike in Baghdad ordered by President Donald Trump. Thousands of people marched Saturday and Sunday in funeral processions in Iraq and Iran. The assassination has continued to send ripples across the world.
