Security has been strengthened in and around the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) ahead of tomorrow’s (March 26) national convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Policemen and other security agents, including operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) from neighbouring Kogi, Nasarawa, Kaduna and Niger states, have been drawn in to complement their FCT counterparts in ensuring safety during the event.
Roads leading to the Eagle Square venue of the convention and the Federal Secretariat had heavy presence of security personnel as at Thursday.
Reports say governors took over many of the hotels in the Central Business Area (CBA) of the city.
Five-star hotels such as Sheraton, NICON Luxury and Transcorp Hilton, as well as Bolton White, Top Rank, Chelsea, Barcelona Valencia and Riets Continental, were upbeat as delegates moved in and out discussing the convention.
