SP Shiisu Lawan Adam, the police spokesperson, confirmed that this initiative follows instructions from Commissioner of Police Haruna A. Yahaya.
This strategy aligns with mandates from Inspector General of Police Olatunji Rilwan Disu, emphasizing the force’s role in safeguarding lives and fostering educational progress.
Security measures involve a mix of uniformed officers, undercover agents, and intelligence specialists tasked with preserving order, preventing examination malpractice, and addressing potential threats.
