The deployment, which consists of all intelligence and tactical assets at the command's disposal and is supported by inter-agency cooperation, was prompted by the need to "avert any form of threat on the nation's democratic process," according to a statement released by the command's spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, on Friday morning.

  3. Bond/Total Filling Station,
  4. POWA/FCDA Junction,
