Police beef up security in Abuja On February 20, 2012.

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.
