Retired assistant inspector-general of police, Felix Ogbaudu has called for withdrawal of police officers attached to ”very important persons” (VIPs) and be deployed for security operations.

Speaking on Wednesday on Sunrise Daily, a Channels Television programme, Ogbaudu said: “It is very embarrassing that we are in this situation. The failure of security operators to curtail the situation is disappointing. The availability of police personnel in Niger state is too small compared to the land mass. The inadequacy of policemen in the state is alarming therefore we need to increase the presence of security manpower in the state,”

“A lot of VIPs have too many police officers attached to them and they can be withdrawn and deployed to states like Niger. Also those in states that enjoy so much peace can be deployed to Niger state to pick up the numbers.”
