Police in the Federal Capital Territory have started conducting searches on neglected shrubs and abandoned buildings in urban and suburban areas.
This was revealed in a statement released by the police on Wednesday.
She denied claims that kidnappers had a haven in the FCT and assured locals that there will be increased visibility policing in the upcoming days.
Only a day had passed since the police had pledged to start gathering intelligence and conducting raids that were based on that intelligence, among other security measures.
“Yesterday 2nd August 2022, we promised residents that there will be voracious Intelligence gathering and Intelligence-led raids among other security measures,” Adeh’s statement said.
“The FCT Police today commenced raids on untended bushes and abandoned structures within the city center and suburbs. We have only just begun.
“Members of the public will witness heavy visibility policing and an in-out sweep of the Territory.
“While at that we urge the good people of the Territory to be well informed, exercise calm bearing in mind that it is the Police at work, to eschew the promulgation of panic erupting news with misplaced facts, and to support the police with useful information.
“The arrested persons will be screened and profiled while erring parties will be charged to court.”
