The Nigeria Police has restored security details attached to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal.
The spokesman to the Speaker, Malam Imam Imam, confirmed on Wednesday that all security details (Police and SSS) attached to the office of the Speaker, have been restored.
Imam in a statement said “We wish to confirm that all security details (Police and SSS) earlier withdrawn from the office of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, have been restored.
“The Policemen attached to the Speaker resumed duties few days after men of the Department of State Security (DSS) returned to their duty posts”, he said.
Imam maintained that it is the duty of the State to provide special security for certain public office holders, of which the Speaker is one.
However, thanking Nigerians who voiced their opinion on the withdrawal, and the subsequent reinstatement of the security personnel, he also stated that no further comment would be made on the issue.
