The announcement was made in a statement on Saturday by the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Nahum Daso.
The statement also warned of temporary road restrictions and diversions in some parts of Maiduguri to facilitate smooth movement and public safety.
“The Borno State Police Command has deployed adequate security arrangements ahead of the visit of the President to Borno State scheduled for today, 20th December, 2025,” the statement read.
“The state Commissioner of Police, Naziru Abdulmajid, has drafted a robust security architecture comprising conventional police personnel, tactical teams, surveillance squads, crowd control, and Explosive Ordnance Disposal units to ensure a safe, secure, and hitch-free visit.”
