Ahead of Tinubu’s Visit, Borno Police Step Up Security Measures

Ahead 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 ASP Nahum Kenneth Daso, Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO.

Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units, tactical teams, surveillance squads, crowd control units, and regular police officers make up the security deployment, according to the statement.

Certain routes in Maiduguri, especially the parallel route from Airport Road to Shehu Road, may undergo temporary traffic limits or diversions, according to the police, in order to ensure public safety and allow dignitaries to move freely.

The on-duty security staff asked both residents and drivers to have patience and follow their legal instructions.

Before, during, and after the presidential visit, the Command informed the public of its dedication to safeguarding people and property while urging locals to cooperate, be vigilant, and show support.

Additionally, ASP Daso asked the public to notify the closest police station or established emergency contact channels right away of any suspicious movements or security-related issues.
