Security beefed up as Shettima visits Adamawa

Ahead of Vice President Kashim Shettima's official visit to Adamawa State, the Police Command has increased security measures across the state capital. Shettima, accompanied by a Federal Government delegation, is set to pay respects to the late Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, who passed away and was buried in Yola. Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Nguroje, revealed that Commissioner of Police, CP Kabir Umar Hassan, has ordered the deployment of the Command’s operational assets, including personnel from the Police Mobile Force, Counter-Terrorism Unit, Anti-Kidnapping Unit, Intelligence Unit, Traffic Unit, and Divisional Police Officers.

CP Hassan has also ordered traffic diversions and stop-and-search operations around the state capital. The Police urge the public to cooperate with security personnel and remain law-abiding, warning miscreants to stay away from the visit. The Command asks citizens to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the nearest police station or via their emergency lines.

The residence of the late elder statesman has become a place of mourning, with mourners coming to console his family and the state over his passing at the age of 90.
