Frank Mba, the force public relations officer has said
that 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. 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” he said in a statement.
