As part of preparations for a hitch-free inauguration of Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria’s new President, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Solomon E. Arase has ordered the diversion of traffic on all roads around Eagle Square, Abuja, on Friday, May 29.

Force Public Relations Officer, Ag. CP Emmanuel C. S. Ojukwu, disclosed this in a statement issued this evening in the Nigerian capital.

He said that IGP Arase “has also ordered tight security at Eagle Square, hotels, key and vulnerable places within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), as well as the mounting of Tactical Operation Points on all roads leading into and out of FCT.”

“The Nigeria Police Force apologises for the inconveniences these arrangements may cause motorists and members of the public,” Ojukwu said.
