The Federal Capital Territory Command of the Police Force on Wednesday restored order at Dei Dei, Abuja, following the outbreak of civil unrest at the Building Material Market in the area.

The Command’s Public Relations Officer, Josephine Adeh, who spoke to The PUNCH, said officers of the Command swung into action to curb the menace on time. She said, “Following the outbreak of the civil unrest at Building Material Market in Dei Dei at about 11:30 am today , comprehensive deployment of tactical and intelligence assets of the Command led by the Commissioner of Police, Babaji Sunday, drifted swiftly to the scene to ensure that the unrest was nipped in the board and managed, thereby forestalling the destruction of private and government infrastructures, loss of lives and properties and to restore normalcy to the situation.

“Our officers, in a concerted effort with other State apparatus, upon arrival at the scene, managed the uproar, preventing further disintegration of law and order.“In addition, the Police Monitoring and Surveillance Unit is working relentlessly to ascertain the cause of the outbreak of the violence, sustain the relative peace restored, and affirm the resultant level of damage, and our findings will be communicated in due time,” the police said.
