The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has faulted the warning issued by the United Kindom against travelling to some Nigerian states due to insecurity.
In a statement by Frank Mba, the force public relations officer on Wednesday, the police said despite the security challenges in Nigeria, the country is peaceful.
“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,” Mba said in a statement.
“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.”
