The Borno Police Command of the Nigeria Police said it had deployed 3,000 men to Maiduguri and other areas liberated from the Boko Haram insurgents. Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the State, ASP Victor Isuzu, disclosed this in an interview in Maiduguri.
Isuzu said the measure became crucial to improve security network in Maiduguri and other communities liberated from the insurgents, adding that the personnel had already resumed duty in their various posts.
Speaking on the foiled suicide bomb attack by the sect at the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID), the PPRO said the command had deployed additional personnel to strengthen security at the institution.
“The command had recently deployed a full unit of mobile police personnel, guards and sniffer dogs to the university, to complement the presence of security personnel there.
“These deployments have started yielding results toward preventing attempts by these enemies of peace to threaten the lives and safety of the university community and its environs.”
Isuzu reiterated the commitment of the command to the protection of lives and property in the state. He called on the people to be vigilant and cooperate with the law enforcement agents to enable them to discharge their duties effectively.
