She said the command had also emplaced a security architecture to effectively police the territory within the period and beyond.

Adeh said the diversion and emplacement of other architecture to complement existing ones was in view of the high influx of visitors into the territory.

She said the traffic will be diverted at the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan road by Court of Appeal point, behind Court of Appeal, ECOWAS by Women Affairs and Finance.

Adeh said traffic would also be diverted behind Foreign Affairs, Kur Mohammed by National Mosque, Benue Plaza, Nitel junction, NNPC Tower and Ceddi Plaza bridge.

She said other points of diversion were Gana by Transcorp, DSS Headquarters, NASS Junction, Bullet and Bayelsa House.

Adeh said the deployment would be characterised by heavy visibility policing at the various traffic control points to aid the free flow of traffic, stop and search, as well vehicular and foot patrol. (NAN)
