Insecurity: We've scaled up security in Abuja - Police

said on Tuesday that it has made an additional deployment of its officers in the Federal Capital Territory , Abuja, following reports of attacks in various parts of the city.His statement comes amid reported attacks and panic among residents about the possibility of more attacks by terrorists in the capital city.

PREMIUM TIMES reported how troops of the 7 Guards Battalion of the Nigerian Army Presidential Guards Brigade were ambushed on Friday night around the Bwari Area Council of Abuja by terrorists suspected to be Boko Haram.The attack came few weeks after terrorists invaded the Kuje prison in Abuja and freed hundreds of inmates, including Boko Haram suspects.

One of the terrorists in a video threatened that his group would abduct President Muhammadu Buhari and some other governors in the country.Reacting to the various incidents, the police urged residents to cooperate with its men in order to forestall attacks within the territory.We are not leaving any stone unturned to fortify the Federal Capital Territory and its environs.

All residents of the FCT are urged to synergise and be on the same page with the Police and other security agencies in making sure that we forestall any ugly incidences in and around the FCT .

America with all their intelligence, military might, equipments, perseverance for twenty years, manpower etc finally succumbed to the Islamic ideological agendists because they are the people and the people are them, same as the Islamic north and their terrorists allies.

You care much about Abuja because it's a seat of power, are people in Kaduna & Katsina need no protection? It's not prayer, but what you people failed to address because it wasn't affecting you directly would surely come to your door step. Come & tackle the problem from the root

What about other states that are affected

Just talk talk smoke them out if you are serious

Shame on all of you, so terrorists needed to get to Abuja before you looters want to protect your turf?

Go on the offensive IGP... who trained u guys self.

Fortified Abuja is not the long term solution. Please restrategies and help Nigerians

Mr IGP. Don't wait until they strike, take the fight to them if only you guys are sincere in your dealings.

Stories for another generation

So it has reached to this level.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

You should be ashamed of yourself, still talking trash while people die & families suffer, not being able to accomplish what you’re being paid for as a commander of soldiers, only rhetorics of lies to support an administration that has failed woefully to save lives and properties
