In a significant development aimed at bolstering security in Abuja, Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the FCT command of the Nigerian Police and the Guards Brigade Nigerian Army have renewed their commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of residents and visitors in the city. This renewed commitment signals a new era of robust security measures that are set to make Abuja a safer and more secure place for all.
At the forefront of this security initiative is the Guards Brigade under the leadership of Brigadier General Adebisi Onasanya. With a statutory mandate to provide security for the President, the seat of power, and the Federal Capital Territory and its environs, the Guards Brigade has a track record of excellence in ensuring the safety and security of critical locations. Under General Onasanya’s leadership, the Brigade has forged strong collaborations with sister security agencies and has conducted successful exercises such as Exercise Enduring Peace and Exercise Olode M’Ole, further enhancing their operational readiness and effectiveness.
The recent visit of the FCT’s new Commissioner of Police, CP Benneth Igweh, to the Headquarters of the Guards Brigade underscores the shared commitment to rid the city of criminals and create a safer environment for all residents. During the visit, General Onasanya conveyed his dedication to working closely with the CP and other security agencies as a cohesive unit, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in tackling security challenges.
With the combined efforts of General Onasanya and CP Igweh, Abuja is set to experience a significant improvement in security in the coming days. Criminal elements operating within and around the FCT will face a formidable challenge as the top security chiefs work hand in hand to ensure the safety and security of the capital city.
As Abuja gears up for enhanced security measures, residents and visitors can look forward to a safer and more secure environment, thanks to the commitment and collaborative efforts of the Guards Brigade Nigerian Army and the FCT Police. The future looks promising for Abuja as it takes proactive steps to address security concerns and create a city where safety and security are top priorities.
