Adamawa Police Tightens Security Ahead Of Buhari's Visit

The Adamawa State Police Command has tightened its security architecture in anticipation of President Muhammadu Buhari's visit to the state.

The command deployed additional assets to provide security for the state during the president's visit. 

Officers of the command were urged to display a high level of professionalism and respect for human rights in the discharge of their duties. 

This was contained in a statement issued by the spokesperson of the command, SP Suleiman Nguroje on Saturday. 

President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to be in the state to flag off the governorship campaign of the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag bearer, Senator Aishatu Binani on Monday. 

Nguroje said the command has deployed operational assets including surveillance patrol men, tactical/operational teams, Police Mobile Force (PMF) and Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU).

“The teams are expected to carry out covert surveillance as well as confidence-building patrols in the state in conjunction with sister security agencies.

“The CP is assuring of synergy and good working relationships amongst all security agencies which will be put into place.

“And that the NPF is committed to working with other patriotic stakeholders towards ensuring public order in the State before, during and after the visit of Mr President.

“The CP being the head of internal security in the state is already on the ground to coordinate the security deployment and ensure all things being equal, the visit of Mr President is hitch-free."

As reported by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the state's commissioner of police has ordered the restriction of vehicular movement, especially those coming from Sangere-Numan-Yola town.

Meanwhile, the CP advised that those coming from Yola town to the Airport should take the 80 Units road through the Commissioner’s Quarters to the Mubi roundabout.
