Police Command in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Sunday announced traffic diversion ahead of the APC presidential primary slated for June 6 and 7 in Abuja.
Gatekeepers News reports that the Police Public Relations Officer in the FCT, DSP Josephine Adeh, made the announcement in a statement made available in Abuja.
Adeh said the command had also emplaced a security architecture to effectively secure the territory within the period and beyond.
She explained that the diversion and emplacement of other architecture to complement existing ones was in view of the high influx of visitors into the territory.
The traffic diversions were as follows, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan by Court of Appeal point, behind Court of Appeal, ECOWAS by Women Affairs and Finance.
Traffic would also be diverted behind Foreign Affairs, Kur Mohammed by National Mosque, Benue Plaza, Nitel junction, NNPC Tower and Ceddi Plaza bridge.
Other points of diversion were Gana by Transcorp, DSS Headquarters, NASS Junction, Bullet and Bayelsa House.
The FCT Police spokesperson said the deployment would be characterised by heavy visibility policing at the various traffic control points to aid the free flow of traffic, stop and search, as well as vehicular and foot patrol.
She said the Commissioner of Police (CP) in charge of the FCT, Babaji Sunday had registered the command’s unflinching commitment to sustain relative peace and tranquillity in the territory.
According to her, the idea was to boost the onward march against crime and criminality in the territory.
Adeh further urged residents to shun all forms of violence in the period and beyond.
