IGP Usman Alkali Baba (Inspector-General of Police), reiterated the Nigeria Police Force's commitment to safety for all citizens of the country, along with other security agencies.

Remember that both the UK and US embassies issued terror threat alerts to Nigeria, particularly Abuja.

A statement by CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, says the IGP charged all Strategic Police Managers in charge of Commands and tactical formations within the country to beef up security in their respective jurisdictions, especially in the FCT.

The IGP similarly directed that all emergency numbers across the country should be activated to full capacity for a 24/7 prompt response with combatant officers and men on standby to respond in case of emergency situations and distress calls.

''Residents within the FCT are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious or abnormal occurrence and persons to the Police through the following emergency lines: 08032003913, 08061581938, 07057337653, and 08028940883.

The IGP, therefore, allays the fear of residents in the FCT and admonishes them to go about their lawful businesses and normal social lives/engagements as all hands are on deck to nip any security threat in the bud and respond to distress calls promptly. The IGP similarly reiterates the commitment of the Nigeria Police to eliminating all threats, as well as protection of lives and property of all residents of the country. '' the statement read in part
