Following a warning by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) to its citizens that trips to 21 Nigerian states including Borno, Delta and Bayelsa states pose a grave danger to their lives, the Nigerian Police has said the country remains one of the safest places in the world.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Frank Mba, reacting through a statement, said: “The attention of the police have been drawn to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advice against all travel to some States and border areas in Nigeria.
“While the Nigeria Police acknowledge that Nigeria is not without some security challenges, just like other nations of the world, including the advanced democracies, we wish to restate that Nigeria remains one of the most beautiful places to live in the world. It is a safe country with its own peculiar socio-economic and security challenges.
“We, therefore, wish to reassure Nigerians and the international community of their safety and the commitment of the police and other security agencies to continue to provide effective security services to the nation.”
