The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba has ordered heavy security beef up around FCT and its environs.
The order of the IGP came after an alert by security agencies indicating that terrorists are planning massive onslaught against Nigeria and FCT in particular.
Police spokesman in a short statement shared with newsmen said: “We are not leaving any stone unturned to fortify the Federal Capital Territory and its environs. The IGP has ordered for additional deployment of assets to Strategic areas of the FCT while the Force Intelligence Bureau has been charged on robust Intelligence gathering and information sharing amongst other agencies.
“All residents of the FCT are urged to synergise and be on the same page with the Police and other security agencies in making sure that we forestall any ugly incidences in and around the FCT.”
