Nigerian lawmaker and actor Desmond Elliot has raised concerns over what he described as the withdrawal of his security aides and alleged intimidation of his supporters in Nigeria.

He made the claims while speaking on recent developments affecting his political activities, saying the changes have created tension among his supporters and raised concerns about his safety and political engagements.

According to him, the withdrawal of security personnel attached to him has limited his movement and participation in constituency-related activities. He also alleged that some of his supporters have been pressured or intimidated in certain areas.

The lawmaker did not provide full details on when the security withdrawal occurred or the specific individuals or agencies involved in the decision.

Security arrangements for public officials in Nigeria are typically managed by relevant state and federal security agencies, depending on official assessments and operational requirements.

The development comes amid ongoing political discussions and tensions within different parts of the country, where security provisions for politicians often change based on risk evaluation and administrative decisions.

Authorities have not issued an official response to the allegations at the time of reporting.

Further clarification is expected as more information becomes available regarding the security status of the lawmaker and the concerns raised.
