ABUJA – THE Federal Capital Territory, FCT Police Command said it has deployed uniform and plain-clothe personnel across the nation’s capital city and environs to provide security for residents ahead of the coming Yuletide.
This was even as it alerted members of the public “on the need to be security conscious in these ember months as we move closer to Yuletide.”
