In readiness for the FCT Area Council Elections scheduled to hold on the 12th February, 2022, the FCT Police Command has alerted the general public with the emergency response system put in place via the creation of a “9 sector re-enforcement team “ comprising of the Police and other sister agencies.
A statement by the Public Relations officer, Josephine Adeh, in Abuja says that the sectored reenforcement team is independent and shouldn’t be confused with the standard deployment of two (2 ) unarmed Police personnel at each Polling unit across the state as required by standard best practices.
“The arrangement was however made to cater for the event of an emergency, totally ruling out the possibility of an overwhelming security breach, as well as availing residents with an immediate response option”, it noted.
Below is a list of the various sectors and their corresponding contacts.
1 Karshi/karu ——————- 07031288054,
09051515353

Consequent upon the above, the Commisioner of Police, FCT Command, CP Sunday Babaji, has urged members of the public to maximize the above opportunity in reporting any suspicious activities while the Police deploy efforts to ensure a safe election environment for all and sundry before, during and after the exercise.
The statement added that in addition to the above, and to strengthen the effectiveness of the Command control room in the period in view, a joint Operation Control Center has been created to cater for complaints and distress calls at the Command level through the following emergency lines: 08032003913, 08061581938, 07057337653 and 08028940883.
