The Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, CP Haruna G. Garba, has warned individuals and groups of persons against any form of disturbance of public peace, unlawful assembly, and criminal intrusion of lawful assembly within the FCT.
According to the Command Spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, “The CP gave the warning on December 6, 2023, while confirming the arrest of five suspects in connection with the attempted infiltration of the November 30, 2023, NANS convention to disrupt the process. The suspects were promptly intercepted by security operatives, some of whom were handed over to the Police by the Department of State Services.
“The suspects are Adeniran Femi, Ishaya Christopher, Obigi Emeka, Fatokun Ayodele, and Abdullahi Saliu. Exhibits recovered from them include a pump action gun, one locally made double barrel shotgun, two locally made pistols, one baretta pistol, 15 live ammunitions, cartridges, an axe, 12 cutlasses, mobile phones, a bag containing uniforms of security agencies, and a Mazda car with Reg No. RBC909DP which contains some of the exhibits.”
According to Adeh, an investigation is being intensified while efforts are ongoing to arrest other suspects still at large. Suspects would be charged to court on the conclusion of investigations.
Meanwhile, the CP has assured residents of the unflinching commitment of the command to ensuring and safeguarding public order, safety, and security in the FCT.
He further urged residents to keep up with prompt rendition of distress calls or complaints to the Police.
