In front of President Bola Tinubu’s planned visit to the state on Saturday, the Borno State Police Command has stepped up security measures.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Naziru Abdulmajid, has implemented a thorough security architecture to guarantee a secure and trouble-free presidential visit, according to a statement released in Maiduguri by the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, ASP Nahum Kenneth Daso.
Conventional police officers, tactical teams, surveillance squads, crowd control units, and Explosive Ordnance Disposal, or EOD, units make up the security deployment, according to the statement.
The police stated that in order to ensure public safety and allow dignitaries to move freely, certain routes in Maiduguri, especially the parallel route from Airport Road to Shehu Road, may undergo temporary traffic limits or diversions.
Residents and drivers were urged to exercise patience and follow any legal instructions given by on-duty security guards.
Prior to, during, and following the presidential visit, the Command informed the public of its dedication to safeguarding lives and property while urging residents’ participation, watchfulness, and support.
Additionally, ASP Daso asked the public to report any suspicious activity or security-related issues as soon as possible to the closest police station or via the designated emergency contact channels.
