Strategic locations and soft targets such as places of worship, recreational centers, markets, shopping malls, parks, gardens, and suspected flashpoints are under the watchful eye of deployed assets.

High Visibility Patrols:

Area Commanders and Divisional Officers across the 6 Area Councils have been directed to maintain 24-hour high visibility day and night patrols, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the Territory. The Command expressed confidence in the synergy and collaboration among various security agencies to guarantee peace and order during the yuletide period in the FCT.

He encouraged the public to report any suspicious activities, emphasizing that security is everyone’s responsibility.

As the festive season approaches, the NSCDC FCT Command is dedicated to promptly responding to distress and emergency situations, ensuring the safety and well-being of residents.
