The Inspector General Police, Alkali Baba Usman, has ordered
an additional deployment of assets to strategic areas of the Federal Capital
Territory, Abuja.
The development comes in the wake of recent reports of

security threats.

other agencies saying police is not leaving any stone unturned.
Adejobi urged all residents of the FCT to synergise and be
on the same page with the police and other security agencies to forestall any
ugly incidents.
The signal read; “FCT SECURITY: We are not leaving any stone
