In a proactive move to bolster Nigeria’s security preparedness, the Federal Government has announced a joint operation and training exercise aimed at equipping security forces to respond effectively to various threats.
As part of these efforts, a crisis response simulation will take place at Idu Train Station on Thursday, November 28, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
The announcement, issued by the Office of the National Security Adviser in collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force, aims to notify residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and surrounding areas about the scheduled exercise.
According to the statement, the simulation will include heavy sounds of explosives as part of the emergency drills. However, the public is assured that the exercise will occur in a controlled environment, posing no danger to residents.
“Members of the public are hereby enjoined not to panic as the exercise, which will come with heavy sounds of explosives, will be carried out in a controlled environment with no possible danger to residents,” the statement read.
The initiative underscores the Federal Government’s commitment to combating all forms of crime and criminality in Nigeria by ensuring that security forces are adequately trained to handle emergencies.
Residents are encouraged to cooperate and remain calm during the exercise, which is a critical step in enhancing national security and crisis response capabilities.
