FG to Expand Deep Blue Project to Bakassi

The Federal Government of Nigeria announced that its Deep Blue security operation—originally launched to combat banditry, kidnapping and armed robbery in the north‑central states—will be extended to the Bakassi area of Niger State. The expansion aims to increase police and military patrols, set up joint task forces, and improve intelligence sharing to curb the surge of violent crime and protect communities in that region.
