The force affirmed that it will work with other security agencies to ensure the safety of all persons.

This was disclosed in a  statement by Olumuyiwa Adejobi, force spokesman, Usman Baba, the inspector-general of police (IGP).

The IGP statement comes on the heels of the security alert issued by the United States to its citizens in Nigeria.

The US had said the federal capital territory (FCT) stands a high risk of attack, and that terrorists may target government buildings, places of worship, schools, and markets

Baba also charged all strategic police managers in charge of commands and tactical formations to beef up security in their respective jurisdictions, especially in the FCT.

“The IGP directed that all emergency numbers across the country 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,” the statement reads.

“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.”
