“The FCT cannot and will not be a lucrative playing field for criminal activities. Criminally minded persons are therefore advised to vacate the territory or desist from their unlawful activities, as the Command remains resolute in identifying, arresting, and bringing perpetrators to justice,” he said.
Sanusi said the Command had deployed personnel strategically and intensified visibility patrols and other proactive security measures to protect lives and property throughout the celebration.
The Command urged residents to remain law-abiding and report suspicious activities through its emergency lines: 08032003913 and 08028940883.
