Chibo girls: Abubakar orders audit of security threats to boarding schools

As part of deliberate and proactive efforts geared towards bolstering security network around boarding schools nationwide and also the safety and security of students and other stakeholders in the nation’s secondary institutions of learning, the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has ordered Command Commissioners of Police to immediately commence security audit and threats analysis of all boarding schools nationwide.
The outcome of the exercise will greatly assist Police authorities and other security agencies in the task of designing security strategies that will help in promoting safety and security in the schools, the Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, said on Tuesday.
Mba said it is equally expected that the result of the consultations, threat analysis and the attendant security awareness campaigns will help in reducing the vulnerability of the schools and strengthen an otherwise soft terror target.
According to Mba, ‎the Commissioners of Police are expected to work in conjunction with other security agencies, the Ministry of Education of the various states across the country, the management and staff of the schools, the Parents Teachers Association, the host communities and other stakeholders so as to obtain the most reliable intelligence.
Mba said in the statement that Abubakar reassured Nigerians that the Police along with other security forces will remain committed to their mandate of protecting the lives and property of all Nigerian citizens at all places and at all times.
He equally called for the continuous support of Nigerians.
