IGP Visits Maiduguri Bombing Sites, Assures Enhanced Security Measures

The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has visited Maiduguri, Borno State, following recent improvised explosive device (IED) attacks in the city.

During the visit, the IGP met with victims receiving treatment at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and assessed the Monday Market bombing site.

He also visited the Borno State Government House and the State Police Command Headquarters to review ongoing security operations and strengthen coordinated response strategies.

Disu commiserated with victims and their families, assuring residents of the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to dismantling networks responsible for the attacks and preventing further incidents.

He emphasised that security measures across Maiduguri have been intensified, with increased deployment of personnel, enhanced surveillance, and joint operational strategies across the metropolis.

The IGP noted that these efforts are aimed at forestalling additional threats and ensuring the safety of residents.

The visit comes in the wake of deadly bombings in Maiduguri that resulted in multiple casualties and heightened security concerns in the region.

Authorities say the strengthened security architecture is part of a broader effort to stabilise the area and restore public confidence. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
