Over 100,000 Police Officers Guard VIPs While Citizens Face Insecurity — EU Report.
More than 100,000 officers of the Nigeria Police Force are reportedly deployed to protect politicians and other VIPs, raising concerns about inadequate security coverage for ordinary citizens. The European Union Agency for Asylum’s November 2025 report highlights that the NPF has an estimated strength of 371,800 personnel serving a population of approximately 236.7 million people.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The report emphasizes that the diversion of a substantial number of police officers to VIP protection exacerbates existing policing deficits, leaving communities with limited or no protection. It states that manpower shortages, corruption, and limited resources have resulted in slow emergency responses and insufficient policing in many areas.
The agency further notes that weak accountability mechanisms have fostered misconduct among some officers, including arbitrary arrests, extortion, and excessive use of force. Attempts to obtain comments from the Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, were unsuccessful.
The issue of deploying police officers to private individuals and political office holders has persisted for years. Following directives in June 2023 and April 2025 by Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun to withdraw mobile police officers from VIP duties, the report indicates that a significant portion of personnel continue to serve VIP protection roles.
In August, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy and Coordination, Hadiza Bala-Usman, criticized the ongoing use of policemen as personal guards. She urged that elite protection should not come at the expense of national security, calling for a review of the Police Act to allow private security companies to assume some responsibilities currently handled by state security personnel.
Bala-Usman argued that freeing police officers to focus on broader national security needs is essential, noting that the continued deployment of personnel to VIPs undermines effective crime prevention and community protection.

“There is no turning back. Together, we will keep moving Osun forward. I’m confident ACCORD will win August 15,” he added.

He called on them to engage their neighbours and encourage eligible voters to participate in the poll.
“Tell your neighbours: No shaking, Imole is coming back,” the governor said.
