Security agencies on Thursday explained the reason behind the heavy deployment of security personnel and barricades across parts of Abuja’s city centre.
They assured residents and visitors that the measures are routine and aimed at maintaining law and order amid increasing protests in the Federal Capital Territory.
The barricades, which have been mounted at strategic locations in the city centre in recent days, have caused gridlock and delays for thousands of motorists, civil servants and other workers moving to and from offices in the Federal Capital Territory.
Responding to concerns over the security measures during a joint media briefing by security and intelligence agencies, Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Anietie Iniedu, assured residents that there was no security threat warranting panic.
