FG Tightens Security Few Days To Nationwide Protest

The Federal Government has tightened security at all national borders ahead of the planned nationwide protests scheduled for August 1.

Kemi Nandap, Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), announced this in a statement issued by the Service Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Udo, on Saturday in Abuja.

Nandap directed all Zonal Heads, State Command Comptrollers, and Divisional Immigration Officers (DIOs) across the country to be extra vigilant.

She instructed officers and personnel of the service to intensify surveillance in light of the planned protests by some groups.

The directive aims to ensure that foreign elements do not enter the country to participate in the protests.

“In keeping with the responsibility of safeguarding the nation’s gateways placed on the shoulders of the Service, officers especially Heads of Border Commands, are tasked to rise to the occasion.

“This is by ensuring that no foreign element can take advantage of the protest to distabilise the country,”she said.
