The FCT Police Command has reaffirmed its commitment to the safety of residents in Abuja, particularly those residing in Ushafa, Bwari, and surrounding areas.
The assurance comes as the Commissioner of Police, CP Haruna Garba, visited the regions in Bwari Local Government Area following reports of kidnapping incidents.
In response to the security concerns, additional police personnel have been deployed to address potential threats and enhance the overall security situation in the affected areas.
The Public Relations Officer of the Command, SP Josephine Adeh, cautioned against the dissemination of unverified information, emphasizing the importance of responsible sharing to prevent unnecessary panic among FCT residents.
Adeh stated, “Instead, we encourage the public to responsibly share any pertinent information with the appropriate authorities.”
The Commissioner of Police conducted thorough visits to communities in Bwari, engaging with community leaders, assessing security arrangements, and implementing proactive measures, including deploying additional personnel and an armored police vehicle.
Despite these efforts, concerns have been raised about perceived inactivity. However, the police emphasized that disclosing detailed security strategies publicly could compromise their effectiveness.
The statement concluded by expressing gratitude for the public’s cooperation and urged citizens to exercise restraint in sharing potentially misleading or mischievous posts. Collaborative efforts with the police were emphasized as crucial for fostering a safer and more secure environment for all.
