Police deploy officers to ensure security ahead of Buhari's visit to Adamawa of Buhari

For President Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) to visit the state without incident, the Adamawa State Police Command has sent out more officials.

Officers were also instructed by the command to conduct themselves with extreme professionalism and regard for human rights.

SP Suleiman Nguroje, the Command's spokesman, revealed this in a statement released on Saturday in Yola.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Buhari would be in the state on Monday to open Sen. Aishatu Binani's campaign rally for governor.

The surveillance patrol troops, tactical/operational teams, Police Mobile Force, and Counter Terrorism Unit, he claimed, were just a few of the additional operational assets.

“The teams are expected to carry out covert surveillance as well as confidence-building patrols in the state in conjunction with sister security agencies.

“The CP is assuring synergy and good working relationships amongst all security agencies which will be put into place.

“And that the NPF is committed to working with other patriotic stakeholders towards ensuring public order in the State before, during and after the visit of Mr President.

“The CP being the head of internal security in the state is already on the ground to coordinate the security deployment and ensure all things being equal, the visit of Mr President is hitch-free,” he stated.

Nguroje added that CP has also ordered that vehicular traffic be restricted, particularly for those traveling from Sangere-Numan Road to Yola Town. Instead, they are to divert from FGGC Junction via Jambutu Motor Park, which will take them to Doubeli Junction.

The 80 Housing Units should be taken through the Commissioner's Quarters and down to the Mubi roundabout, he told those traveling from Yola Town to the Airport.

“The Command while regretting the inconveniences it might have caused, appeal to the general public to conduct themselves and cooperate with security agents in the course of discharging their constitutional mandate,” he urged.
