National security agencies have deployed their operatives in numbers to the Federal Capital Territory over the terror alerts issued by the United States and the United Kingdom.
Despite the reaction from the Federal Government that there was no cause for panic, the apprehension in the atmosphere in Abuja has called for a massive flood of security agents.
According to Vanguard, there was a massive deployment of Special Forces and the elite Presidential Guards Brigade, on Saturday, in the Abuja metropolis to prevent possible terrorist attacks.
Armed security personnel, including policemen, have been spotted patrolling the city centre, the Kubwa Expressway, Jabi and other strategic points.
They were also seen around the NNPC Towers, and War College, both in the Central Business District and around the Central Bank of Nigeria headquarters.
