Terror Alert: IGP Releases Emergency Numbers Nationwide

The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, on Thursday released emergency numbers nationwide with a view to avert any attack by the terrorists.

In a statement by the force spokesman, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the IGP said the Nigeria Police Force is working in collaboration with other security agencies, to ensure the safety of all Nigerians.

The IGP has also directed that all emergency numbers across the country should be activated to full capacity for a 24/7 prompt response.
