Following yesterday’s bombing in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, says policemen have been deployed massively on a stop and search of vehicles in and around Abuja.
Boko Haram terrorists attacked Nyanya and Kuje areas of Abuja with bombs killing about 15 people and injuring many. The IGP, in a statement on Saturday assured residents and the entire country not to panic as the Nigeria Police Force is prepared to do all within its reach to ensure adequate security of lives and property.
Arase said those that did these dastardly acts, did so in shame of cowardice, saying no matter their aim, Nigeria would not accommodate terrorism. “Following the incidents, the Police High Command ordered an immediate deployment of Police Explosives Ordinance Disposal Units to the scenes to prevent further destructions. Preliminary investigations revealed the bomb blasts were carried out by two suicide bombers – a male and a female. Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police has ordered massive stop-and-search in and around the Federal Capital to Territory, Abuja,” the statement signed by Olabisi Kolawole, Force Public Relations Officer said.
The IGP urges Nigerians to be vigilant at all times and report any suspicious persons or objects to the nearest Police Station or any other security agencies for prompt interventions
