Inspector-General of Police, IGP Suleiman Abba, has reassured Nigerians of round-the-clock safety and security during and after the Yuletide.

He gave the reassurance when he addressed newsmen yesterday at the Custom Command and Staff College, Gwagwalada, FCT after completing a phased aerial surveillance of the FCT and the Kaduna-Abuja-Lokoja Highway.

Abba, who was accompanied by senior police officers, added that the helicopter patrol was undertaken to complement the good efforts of Police personnel who are strategically deployed nationwide to ensure safety and security of lives and property.

He further stated that the Nigeria Police and other security agencies are working round the clock to ensure safety and security of Nigerians and enjoined Nigerians to cooperate with the security agencies and report any suspicious persons or group.

This, he said, would enable the Nigeria Police respond to prevent any threat of a breach of the peace.
