The FCT Police Command in view of the forthcoming Christmas celebration, has deployed human and material resources at the Command’s disposal across the nooks and crannies of the Federal Capital Territory.

The deployment which is characterized by visibility policing at various places of worship and event centres, and raids on identified black spots, uncompleted buildings/shanties, stop and search, Vehicular/foot patrol and inter-agency cooperation, is aimed at ensuring that the residents of the FCT enjoys a hitch free festivity before, during and after the Christmas celebration.

The Commissioner of Police FCT, CP Haruna G. Garba, in anticipation of the festivity, felicitates with the Christian faithfuls of the Territory and equally enjoin the residents to dissuade from using knockouts, fireworks/firecrackers which may cause panic or apprehension in the general public, while reiterating his commitment to ensure the safety of all.

He equally urged the residents of FCT to be vigilant and suspicious of their environment and to take advantage of the Police emergency lines for distress calls and complaints:
