Frank Mba, Force Public Relations Officer, has said Nigeria is one of
the most beautiful places to live in.
Mba, who was reacting to a travel advisory the UK authorities issued
to British citizens, said despite the security challenges in Nigeria,
the country is peaceful.
The foreign commonwealth office had listed 21 of the 36 states in the
country as safe but the force spokesman dismissed the position.
“The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to the
Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advice against all travel to
some States and border areas in Nigeria,” he said in a statement.
“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.”
