No fewer than 4,200 police personnels have been deployed by the Federal Capital Territory police command ahead of the proposed nationwide protest across the nooks and crannies of the nation’s capital.
Also deployed are explosive ordinance device experts at various strategic locations within the FCT.
The command in a statement on Friday by its spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, said the deployment was to ensure public safety, protection of protesters and to prevent the protests from being hijacked by non-state actors.
She added that there would be raids on identified black spots, uncompleted buildings/shanties, and stop and search operations among others in collaboration with sister security agencies.
