From Molly Kilete, Abuja
The Police Force Headquarters in Abuja said it has deployed helicopters to embark on enhanced aerial surveillance and patrol, to support its operational assets to ensure adequate security for all and sundry across the country.
The force called on Nigerians to go about their legitimate duty without fear of being harassed and report any suspicious movement to the security agencies.
The deployment of the police helicopters may not be unconnected with the alarm raised by the Department of State Services over plans by some criminals to carry out attacks on strategic locations across the country.
Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the deployment was in furtherance of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba’s directive and commitment to continually provide security and required logistics to facilitate the expensive deployment.
“We urge Nigerians to remain calm, go about their lawful businesses and celebrations and render necessary help to our officers and men on duty, while we continue to sustain our patrols.
“We are available to serve you, even better at all times. Stay safe,” the statement read.
