The Nigerian police authorities have withdrawn the Police Mobile Force (PMF) personnel previously attached to prominent individuals, including Mrs Aisha Buhari, wife of former President Muhammadu Buhari, as well as the ones attached to a nephew of former President Buhari, Mamman Daura.
The order for the withdrawal was contained in a police wireless message released by the police.
Other personalities affected by the withdrawal include Boss Mustapha, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, and Iyorchia Ayu, a former Senate President.
According to the authorities, this move comes as part of an ongoing reassessment and reorganization of security details by the Nigerian Police Force. The police say the withdrawal of PMF personnel from these high-profile individuals is not indicative of any specific threat or security breach. Instead, it aligns with the broader goal of streamlining security arrangements to meet the evolving security needs of the nation.
While the affected individuals may no longer have PMF personnel assigned exclusively to their protection, it is important to note that they will still benefit from other security arrangements provided by relevant agencies.
Below is the full list of individuals as obtained from the police.
