It’s not from us – Police react to viral inter-state travel safety tips 

The Nigeria Police Force stated that the widely circulated travel safety tips on social media are false and were not disseminated by their officials. These tips were attributed to the Department of Force Intelligence (DFI).

According to the police in a statement on X, “ The “safety tips” in question did not originate from any official department within the Nigeria Police Force. We want to emphasize that these tips are not endorsed or issued by us

“While the safety of Nigerians is a top priority, it’s essential to seek information from reliable and official sources as misinformation, especially when it exaggerates the security situation, can cause undue panic.

“Members of the public are encouraged to rely on official information provided by our social media handles and other authorized sources for accurate and up-to-date information regarding security and safety.”
