Similarly, the IGP has sounded a note of warning to those he described as “potential trouble makers” to stay off the streets of Nigeria as the nation’s security agencies would bring to bear the full weight of the law on all law breakers.
He has, however, assured all law-abiding citizens of the readiness and capacity of the Nigeria police to provide adequate security for life and property.
The United States Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, and three other American security staff were killed when protesters attacked US diplomatic compounds in Libya and Egypt on Tuesday, over an online film considered offensive to Islam.
The IGP, in a statement in Abuja, said the decision to provide water-tight security for all the embassies and foreign missions in Nigeria became necessary since the recent violent demonstrations in some parts of the world linked to a recent US film believed to have offended a section of some religious faithful.
Abubakar therefore called on parents and guardians to monitor their wards closely to protect them from negative influences of mischief-makers who might want to lure them into criminal and unwholesome acts.
According to the statement signed by the Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba: “The IGP has directed all zonal AIGs and command commissioners of police to ensure a 24-hour water-tight security in and around all embassies and foreign missions in Nigeria as well as other vulnerable targets.”
He also said assistant inspectors general of police in charge of intelligence and commissioners of police in charge of the various police special squads such as the Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU), Police Mobile Force (PMF) and Special Protection Unit (SPU) had been directed to ensure that their personnel were strategically deployed to prevent possible outbreak of any crisis.
