“Citizens are enjoined to bear with the Nigeria Police Force during this security operation, which is a temporary measure put in place to address the intelligence received.
“The special security measure, stop-and-search is in no way a return of roadblocks. Any unprofessional conduct should be reported at www.stopthebribes.net or nearest Police Station.
