Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase, in reaction to the bomb blasts that occurred in Kuje and Nyanya areas in Abuja, has assured residents and the entire country not to panic as the Force was prepared to do all within its reach to ensure adequate security of lives and property.
IGP Arase said those that did the dastardly acts, did so in shame of cowardice, saying no matter their aim, Nigeria will not accommodate terrorists’ acts.
Following the incidents, the Police High Command has ordered an immediate deployment of Police Explosives Ordinance Disposal Units to the scenes to prevent further destructions.
Already, preliminary investigations revealed the bomb blasts were carried out by two suicide bombers – a male and a female.
Arase said he has ordered massive stop-and-search activities in and around the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
He urged Nigerians to be vigilant at all times and report any suspicious persons or objects to the nearest Police Station or any other security agencies for prompt interventions.
