Police in FCT deploy 3,180 personnel for 2024 Christmas celebration
The Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), CP Olatunji Disu, has announced the deployment of 3,180 officers across the territory to ensure the safety and security of residents during the 2024 Christmas celebrations.
This effort aims to increase visibility at places of worship, event centers, and public spaces, while addressing potential security threats in areas identified as black spots, unfinished buildings, and shantytowns.
Key strategies include the deployment of Police Rapid Response Squads and Tactical Teams, as well as conducting stop-and-search operations and implementing both vehicular and foot patrols. The FCT Police will also collaborate with other security agencies to enhance public safety during the festive season.
Additionally, Police Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams will carry out security sweeps of vital government and public infrastructure. CP Disu stressed the importance of cooperation between the police, religious leaders, and owners of recreational facilities to ensure a secure environment.
In his message, CP Olatunji Disu extends warm Christmas wishes to the Christian community and all residents of the FCT. He reassured the public of the command’s ongoing commitment to their safety and advised against the use of knockouts, fireworks, or firecrackers, which could cause unnecessary panic.
Residents are urged to remain vigilant, report any suspicious activities, and use the following emergency numbers for distress calls or complaints: 08032003913, 08061581938, 07057337653, and 08028940883. For police complaints, please contact the Police Complaint Bureau at 09022223527.
