Abuja-Kaduna road accessible, safe for motorists, says IGP
The Inspector General of Police, Alkali Usman, says the rumour making the rounds that Kaduna is inaccessible by road, air or train is a mere propaganda.
The police boss stated this during his operational visit to the Abuja-Kaduna road on Saturday in Kaduna, to inspect the security situation along the road.
Mr Usman noted that they have already made arrangements to secure the road.
“My coming out today is to check the deployment we made to ensure the road is safe and also to check the deployment we have made at the scene of the train accident where repairs are taking place.
“We have also deployed our men to assist the engineers in taking care of the situation and I want to assure the public that the propaganda going round that Kaduna is inaccessible by road, air or train is not true.
“The road is safe for motorists and we will try our best to keep it safer,” he added.
He said the visit was to ensure that officers deployed to keep security on the road are performing their duties diligently.
