The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has assured residents of the capital city of a hitch-free Eid-El-Kabir celebration by increasing security in praying grounds and places of social gatherings.
The Command stated that its operatives would carry out stop and search duties, raid black spots and uncompleted buildings, as well as conduct highway and border patrols, aggressive vehicle and foot patrols.
In a statement issued to newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, said: “The Federal Capital Territory Police Command, in preparation for a hitch-free Eid-El-Kabir celebration, has reviewed its security dispositions and deployed adequate human and material resources across the Federal Capital Territory.
