Lagos, Nigeria – In the wake of the recent recall of 11,000 police officers previously assigned to protect political elites, several high-profile individuals in Nigeria are reportedly seeking alternative security arrangements with the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
The unprecedented recall has left a significant security gap for VIPs who traditionally relied on these dedicated police personnel for personal protection. Sources indicate that affected individuals are now exploring engagement with the NSCDC to ensure their safety amid rising concerns about potential security threats.
Security analysts have noted that the move underscores broader challenges within Nigeria’s policing system, where resources are often diverted toward VIP protection at the expense of public safety. Critics argue that the reliance on heavily armed officers for elite security has historically left communities vulnerable to criminal activity and insurgency.
No official statements have yet been issued by either the Nigerian Police Force or the NSCDC regarding the proposed engagement, but insiders suggest discussions are ongoing to establish temporary measures until permanent arrangements can be made.
The development has sparked renewed public debate about the allocation of security resources in the country, with citizens questioning the balance between protecting political figures and ensuring the safety of the general populace.
