The FCT Police Command has assured residents of Abuja, especially those living in Ushafa, Bwari, and environs, of their safety as additional operatives have been deployed to ensure that security threats are nipped in the bud.
The command made the promise after the FCT Police Commissioner, CP Haruna Garba visited areas in Bwari Area Council, where there had been reports of kidnapping attacks, to assess the security situation of the area.
This is contained in a statement by the Public Relations Officer of the Command, SP Josephine Adeh.
She cautioned individuals to shun the spread of unconfirmed information to avoid inciting unnecessary panic among residents.
She said, “It is imperative that individuals refrain from disseminating unverified information from the comfort of their homes, as it may incite unnecessary panic in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
“Instead, we encourage the public to responsibly share any pertinent information with the appropriate authorities.
“In Bwari, the Commissioner of Police, on the 3, 2024, diligently visited all communities in the region.
“During these visits, he engaged with community leaders, assessed security arrangements, and took proactive measures, including deploying additional personnel and an armoured police vehicle.
“Despite these efforts, concerns have been raised about perceived inactivity.”
She appreciated the cooperation of the residents, urging them to exercise restraint in sharing potentially misleading or mischievous posts.
The PPRO said working in harmony with the police would contribute to a safer and more secure environment for all.
