The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has issued new guidelines requiring individuals and organisations planning public events, charity activities, or large gatherings in Abuja to notify it in advance.
The Spokesperson for the Command, Josephine Adeh, announced the measures in a statement on Saturday in Abuja.
The guidelines come in the wake of a deadly stampede at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Maitama, Abuja earlier on Saturday, claiming 10 lives and leaving several injured during a food distribution at the church’s Car Park.
