The memo also said some people should be withdrawn without specifically providing their full names. It was unclear whether this was an error or deliberate. A spokesman for the police did not immediately answer a request seeking clarification.
The signal only described others to be deprived of personal as a former science and technology minister, former National Assembly clerk, a former power minister, a brother to Aisha Buhari and a brother to former President Buhari, who was only identified as Daura.
The directive came weeks after Mr Egbetokun said police officers would be withdrawn from so-called VIPs across the country. But he did not specifically mention names, and the politicians continued to use their officers.
