In a police signal sighted by julianafrancisnews.com, the IGP directed personnel across formations in Nigeria, to embark on 24-hour security and to beef up security at bases, armouries, correctional centres and all Critical National Assets in their areas of responsibility.
All senior police officers were also commanded to lecture personnel on the importance of consciousness and for them to remain on alert.
In addition, all police formations were directed and expected to maintain a half unit of armed men at the base on a 24-hour basis, and to respond to all distress situations.
