ABUJA – The Nigeria Police Force has officially distanced itself from the “safety tips” circulating on social media.

The statement emphatically stated that these tips were neither endorsed nor issued by the Police Force.

While the safety and well-being of Nigerians remain a top priority, the statement stressed the importance of seeking information from reliable and official sources.
