VIPs rush NSCDC, private guards as police escorts are withdrawn

There has been a surge in demand for the services of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Nigerian Correctional Service and private security firms after President Bola Tinubu ordered the withdrawal of police escorts from VIPs. The directive, aimed at boosting police presence in communities, has already seen Inspector General Kayode Egbetokun recall more than 11,500 escort officers nationwide.​ Findings across states show many affected politicians and high‑profile figures are now making frantic moves to secure alternative armed protection. Senior NSCDC officers in Abuja and Enugu confirmed they have been inundated with calls and formal applications from VIPs requesting personnel for home and personal security, even as the corps struggles with limited manpower and multiple national assignments.​ Private security companies are also reporting a spike in enquiries but say they lack enough trained guards to meet sudden demand.

Abductions: Tinubu Orders 24-Hour Aerial Surveillance on Kwara, Kebbi, Niger Forest

President Bola Tinubu has directed a continuous 24-hour aerial security operation over forests in Kwara, Kebbi, and Niger States after a series of mass abductions and rising banditry. The Nigerian Air Force is to coordinate the aerial patrol with ground troops to deter kidnappers, track criminal movements, and enable faster rescue missions for victims. The move follows the recent abduction of more than 20 people—including women and children—in Isapa, Kwara. The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has threatened to pull teachers from unsafe classrooms, demanding urgent government action to secure schools and rescue those in captivity. The United Nations has also called for immediate steps to end the wave of mass kidnappings. Kwara’s governor set up a high-level committee to develop local security solutions, while Kebbi's governor welcomed the safe return of 25 abducted schoolgirls—affirming no ransom was paid, crediting […]

Nigeria Dangerously Close to Normalising Terror — Ex-Minister Essien

Former Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Chief Nduese Essien, has voiced grave concerns over Nigeria’s worsening insecurity, warning the country is “dangerously close to normalising terror.” In a statement, Essien cited recent coordinated attacks and abductions—including the execution of Brigadier General Musa Uba and three soldiers in Borno, 64 kidnapped in Zamfara, 25 female students taken in Kebbi, and over 300 Catholic school pupils abducted in Niger. Essien argues these atrocities have become daily realities, undermining farming, worship, and general life. He faults the Tinubu administration for lacking urgency and for appointing security chiefs lacking strategic defence expertise. Essien claims politicisation and corruption threaten to erode both public trust and the capacity to fight criminal networks. The ex-minister wants a strategy anchored on intelligence-led operations, strong community security, accountability, and targeting sponsors of terrorism regardless of their social […]

Nigeria

Withdrawal of Escorts: Fear Grips VIPs as Police Plan Modalities

Fear has spread among Nigeria's VIPs following President Bola Tinubu’s order for the withdrawal of police escort services. The move, publicized by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, tasks the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) with VIP protection, freeing police for their core public safety duties. The decision, aimed at confronting nationwide security threats, has prompted uncertainty among influential persons, who question the NSCDC’s ability to provide adequate security compared to battle-ready mobile police units. Police sources cite heavy incoming calls from anxious VIPs, with some likening this shift to “engaging boy scouts,” fearing lower training and operational readiness. Security experts highlight years of resource diversion, with many police officers reassigned from community patrol to escort convoys, leaving neighborhoods under-protected. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) and civil society groups criticize the move as “political theatre” and not a strategic solution […]

Catholic Archbishop Martins to Tinubu: Act Fast, Nigeria Descending Into Chaos

The Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Alfred Adewale Martins, has publicly urged President Tinubu to respond decisively to the surge in terrorist attacks and insecurity across Nigeria, warning the country is descending into chaos. Referencing recent school kidnappings and the killing of Army General Muhammad Uba, Archbishop Martins said these crises echo the trauma of the 2014 Chibok abductions and show that security guarantees are lacking. Martins highlighted attacks on school staff—Vice Principal Hassan Yakubu Makuku and the Chief Security Officer at Eruku, Kwara—and criticized policy gaps that allowed terrorists to kill security personnel and abduct dozens of schoolgirls. He called for urgent identification and prosecution of terrorists and their sponsors, stressing that every citizen is at risk given the brazen level of violence. Martins expressed hope for the safe return of schoolchildren, called for collective prayer and action, and demanded […]

U.S. Lawmakers Question Nigeria’s Will, Capacity to Curb Violence

U.S. lawmakers have sharply questioned Nigeria’s ability and willingness to protect Christian communities and other victims of extremist violence amid worsening insecurity. At a heated congressional hearing, legislators pressed for accountability and urgent action, reviewing Nigeria’s status as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC).

Meanwhile, Nigerian officials defended the country’s record, insisting there is no religious intolerance. Coalition groups urged domestic reforms, investigating religious freedom violations, and called for interventions […]
