The Inspector-General of Police (IG), Mohammed Abubakar, has ordered all Command Commissioners of Police to directly commence security audit and threat analysis of all boarding schools across the nation.
The order is part of the positive efforts of the Force towards boosting security network around boarding schools nationwide and also the safety and security of students and other stakeholders in the nation’s secondary institutions of learning.
According to a statement signed by Mr Frank Mba, the Force Public Relations Officer (CSP), the security audit and threat analysis would greatly be of help to police authorities and other security agencies in their mission of drawing security strategies that would help in promoting safety and security in secondary schools nationwide.
The statement says “It is equally expected that the result of the consultations, threat analysis and the attendant security awareness campaigns will help in reducing the vulnerability of the schools and strengthen an otherwise soft terror target”.
“The Commissioners of Police are expected to work in conjunction with other security agencies, the Ministry of Education of the various states
across the country, the management and staff of the schools, the Parents Teachers Association(PTA), the host communities and other stakeholders so as to obtain the most reliable intelligence.
IG assured Nigerian citizens that the police along with other security forces would stay committed to their directive of protecting lives and property of all Nigerian citizens.
He called for the continuous support of the Nigerian citizens.
