“Residents and commuters around the area are advised to exercise caution and avoid the marked vicinity during the exercise.
“The command assures the public that strict safety measures are in place, and expected gunfire sounds should not cause alarm.
“We seek residents’ cooperation and understanding, as following safety instructions will ensure a smooth exercise while keeping everyone safe,” Mr Babaseyi said.
