Ahead of Nigeria’s 64th independence anniversary on Tuesday, October 1, Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun has directed a comprehensive security measure to ensure citizens’ safety and security throughout the celebration.

The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, issued the order in a statement on Monday.

He said the IGP ordered the deployment of adequate human and tactical resources to enable a maximum level of security and seamless celebration of independence day.

According to the Force PRO, the police, in collaboration with other security agencies, will fortify various designated event venues and major highways across the country to forestall any threats to lives, property, and the celebration.
