Police record peaceful Xmas

Reports from across the country so far,
have indicated that this year’s Christmas
was celebrated without any ugly incidents,
the Inspector-General of Police, Mr
Suleiman Abba, has said.
Abba, who spoke to newsmen at the Jabi
Lake Resort after he patrolled the FCT,
expressed delight for the incident-free
celebration.
He also confirmed that security agencies
have continued to receive reports of
intended attacks by insurgents, but added
that the plans had been nipped in the bud.
“But the police, as well as other agencies
involved in law enforcement and security
activities have beefed up operations to
make sure that people enjoy the
festivities. This is to make sure that
people celebrate with some sense of
safety in them. I am happy that quite a
number of people are relaxed, enjoying
themselves.
“We are out to make sure that places the
people are likely to visit, including the
roads they use in getting to those places,
are well secured’’, he said.
Abba promised that the police and other
security agencies would put in extra hours
to make sure that Nigerians celebrate the
Christmas and New Year in safety.
