IGP Orders Water-Tight Security Around Embassies, Foreign Businesses In Nigeria
The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has ordered that there should be water-tight security around embassies, foreign missions, foreigners and their businesses within Nigeria.

The IGP condemned the violent attacks adding that three police officers were seriously injured and a Police operational vehicle was set ablaze.He also noted that a total number of 125 suspects have been arrested in connection with the incident while a good number of looted valuables have been recovered by the Police.
