The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command has deployed over 3,000 personnel to ensure a secure environment for the upcoming elections on Saturday.
Comfort Okomanyi, FCT Command's spokeswoman, said the personnel have been drawn from all operational and tactical units.
NSCDC FCT Commandant, Peter Maigari, urged the deployed officers to be diligent, professional, and apolitical while carrying out their duties.
He further advised citizens to abstain from violent acts or behaviour that could disrupt the electoral process.
Maigari also warned parents to warn their children against being used as tools for thuggery. He warned that anyone causing any form of mayhem will be prosecuted under the law.
