Prior to the World Boxing Federation championship fight and music festival on GOtv Boxing Night 27, the event's organisers reassured attendees that there would be top-notch security around the site.
In the battle for the WBF Intercontinental featherweight championship, Nigerian Taiwo "Esepor" Agbaje, who resides in London, will face Richard Taruc Pumicpic.
On December 26, it will take place in Tafawa Balewa Square.

Johnson said: “Security is paramount and we have put measures in place to guarantee that.
“There will be policemen, who will complement a leading private security firm with competence in events of this magnitude.
“Alongside this, there will also be officials of the government security agency, who will be on hand to make sure that things run smoothly throughout the duration of the event.
“We understand how important security is to the enjoyment of the festival of boxing and music we have put together.”
