Speaking on security earlier before the Presidential visit, the state Commissioner of Police, Abdu Umar, said the command has deployed a substantial number of its personnel to provide adequate security.
Umar said that the personnel deployed to provide security during the exercise include; men of the Police Mobile Force (PMF), Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU), Anti-Bomb Squad (EOD), Sniffer Dog Section, and the “Crack Team’’ personnel.
He also said the personnel would be working in collaboration with officers of other sister security agencies.
Initially, there were uncertainties as to whether the president would make the visit due to three explosions that rocked some parts of the city just a few hours before his arrival.
