Security Beefed Up In FCT, Possibly Because Of Intelligence Reports

According to the order issued after the multiple blasts, the Nigerian police and army have beefed up security in the Federal Capital Territory.

According to The Punch, soldiers and policemen were spotted in various parts of Abuja on Saturday, October 3.

It is believed, the security move might be connected with intelligence reports warning about the possibility of other suicide attacks in the FCT.

It should be noted, however, that shortly after the Friday bombings in Kuje and Nyanya areas IGP Solomon Arase directed massive deployment of policemen to the scenes and ordered stop-and-search activities in and around the FCT.

Also military roadblocks, dismantled earlier this year upon Muhammadu Buhari’s order, were reinstated along Nyanya-Abuja expressway.

In a reactions to the dire tragedy, many top officials have directed condolences to the families of the deceased and to the people of Nigeria.

In particular, the United State of America in its press statement strongly condemned the attacks and reiterated its commitment to standing side by side with Nigeria to crush Boko Haram insurgency.
