LAGOS– POLICE High authority said it will work in close concert with sister agencies to ensure maximum security for the citizenry. This was made known by the Inspector-General of Police IGP Alkali Usman Baba who also charged his heads of department to be on their toes and ensure there was no security breach whatsoever.
A press statement by the Force public relations officer CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi and made available to CrimeWorld magazine online said the IGP had equally rolled out emergency numbers through which members of the public could reach the police in case of emergency.
The statement reads in full: “The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, has reiterated the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force, in concert with other security agencies, to ensure the safety of all residents within the country. The IGP emphasized this while charging all Strategic Police Managers in charge of Commands and tactical formations within the country to beef up security in their respective jurisdictions, especially in the FCT.

The IGP similarly directed that all emergency numbers across the country should be activated to full capacity for a 24/7 prompt response with combatant officers and men on standby to respond in case of emergency situations and distress calls. Residents within the FCT are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious or abnormal occurrence and persons to the Police through the following emergency lines: 08032003913, 08061581938, 07057337653, and 08028940883.
The IGP therefore allays the fear of residents in the FCT and admonishes them to go about their lawful businesses and normal social lives/engagements as all hands are on deck to nip any security threat in the bud and respond to distress calls promptly. The IGP similarly reiterates the commitment of the Nigeria Police to eliminating all threats, as well as protection of lives and property of all residents of the country. “
