The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, has ordered the withdrawal of police officers attached to very important persons (VIP) with immediate effect.
The wireless signal with reference number, CB:4001/DOPS/SPU/FHQ/ABU/VOL./ORDER AND DIRECTIVES was issued on Wednesday.
Only 10 days ago the police authorities disbanded the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, following protests against the squad for high handedness and extrajudicial killings.
It said, “any commander who violates this order will bear the consequences.”
This development comes after two weeks of protests by Nigerians demanding an end to police brutality in the country.
