Residents of the Federal Capital Territory have been assured of their safety during the Christmas and New Year celebrations.

The assurance was given by the FCT Minister of State, Dr Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu, following the monthly FCT Security Committee meeting which was held on Tuesday.

Speaking after the meeting which is the last for the year, Dr Ramatu said the G7 (states contiguous to the FCT) were working in synergy to ensure a hitch-free celebration in the nation’s capital and across the zone.

Speaking in the same vein, the FCT Commissioner of Police, Babaji Sunday, also said the FCT Police Command, in collaboration with other security agencies, has intensified security operations such as the raiding of identified black spots, increased night patrols and stop and search.

These measures, he said, would ensure a hitch-free yuletide celebration. 

He also called for the cooperation of residents of the FCT, whom he urged to be security-conscious and give useful information to security agencies.
