Following the Suleija fresh bomb blast, the Police in the
FCT, Abuja, have beefed up security in and around the Capital City with
new motorized electronic detecting equipment deployed to such places as
the Aso Rock Villa, the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport and the entry point
between FCT and Niger State.
More motorized electronic bomb detectors, which were recently
procured from Europe by the Federal Government, according to Vanguard
sources, are to be deployed to more entry and exit points of the FCT
when they arrive the country because only a limited number including one
deployed to the Keffi/Marraraba/ Nyanya axis to checkmate those that
may want to infiltrate the FCT from the Boko Haram hot spots.

“It would have to take some time to get others because these high
caliber and modern bomb fighting and detecting equipment are only built
to specifications and when needed. There is the possibility also that
when these equipment are procured in future, they would be deployed to
states threatened by this terrorism menace” the source said.
Aside the Presidential Villa, the Defence and Services headquarters,
Ministry of Defence, SSS headquarters, Police headquarters, NNPC
headquarters and the Central Bank of Nigeria which had been cordoned off
for some time by security agencies, have had their security
re-enforced.
