The Adamawa State Police Command has deployed additional assets to guarantee that the President, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd. ), has a trouble-free visit to the state.
The command also directed officers to maintain a high level of professionalism and human rights respect.
SP Suleiman Nguroje, the Command’s spokesman, revealed this in a statement made on Saturday in Yola.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Buhari would be in the state on Monday to kick off Sen. Aishatu Binani’s governorship campaign rally.
According to him, the additional operational assets included, but were not limited to, surveillance patrolmen, tactical/operating teams, the Police Mobile Force, and the Counter Terrorism Unit.
“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 of 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 further said that CP has equally directed that vehicular movement be restricted especially those coming from Sangere-Numan road to Yola town to branch from FGGC junction through Jambutu Motor Park leading to Doubeli Junction.
He said those coming from Yola town to the Airport, are advised to take the 80 Housing units through the Commissioner’s Quarters down to the Mubi roundabout.
“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.
