The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has assured residents of the territory of maximum security throughout the Easter celebration and beyond.
Peter Olumuji, the Secretary, Command and Control Centre, FCTA, gave the assurance in an interview with newsmen on Friday in Abuja.
Olumuji stated that the FCT Minister, in collaboration with security agencies, had ensured the deployment of human and material assets to ensure the safety of residents.
He mentioned that the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies had deployed a significant number of personnel for foot and vehicular patrols to ensure a hitch-free Easter celebration.
Olumuji also highlighted the deployment of undercover personnel, including Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) experts, to all parts of the FCT as part of proactive measures to protect residents.
He stated, “The minister has been meeting regularly with security agencies led by the Nigeria Police, and they assured him of a peaceful Easter celebration throughout the FCT.
“In response, the police command in the FCT has announced the deployment of more than 2,000 personnel, including material assets, to every part of the city.
“Intelligence and undercover assets have also been deployed throughout the FCT, with EOD personnel stationed at strategic locations, particularly worship and recreational centers.”
The FCTA urged residents to cooperate with security agencies and report any suspicious activities to ensure a safe and secure environment during the festive period.
