In advance of the anticipated nationwide demonstration, 4,200 police officers have been stationed in Abuja by the Nigeria Police Force’s Federal Capital Territory Command.
In a statement released on Friday, Josephine Adeh, the spokesman for the Federal Capital Territory Police Command, stated that the deployment’s goals were to protect demonstrators, maintain public safety, and keep non-state actors from taking over the demonstrations.
Adeh continued, “Experts in explosive ordinance devices are among the police personnel stationed at different key locations.”
