Security operatives have taken over the Eagle Square, Abuja, in readiness for Sunday’s inauguration of President Goodluck Jonathan. Other strategic areas in and around the city centre have also witnessed massive security deployment. Major roads leading to the Eagle Square venue of the inauguration have been closed to traffic. Jimoh Moshood, FCT police public relations officer, said on Saturday that a perfect security arrangement had been put in place for the event. ``We have massive deployment of police personnel there at the Eagle Square; they have cordoned the area,’’ he said.
Moshood said the deployment of security operatives was being complemented by aerial surveillance. ``We want to assure Nigerians that there is perfect security arrangement in place in the FCT for the ceremony. We are extending the security measures throughout the FCT,’’ Moshood further said, adding that the police efforts were being complemented by other security agencies on a single operation order. The FCT Police Command had earlier announced the deployment of more than 10,000 security personnel for the inauguration. (NAN)
