Following the security red flag raised by the United States and UK embassies in Abuja, churches took measures to fortify their worship centres.
Several churches have put internal security measures in place during Sunday and weekday services. Worshippers are duly screened before entering church auditoriums, while heavily armed bearing security agents are deployed in many churches within Abuja towns and outskirts to ensure safety.
Most soft targets like shopping malls, the Central areas and government infrastructure in the city have been adequately manned by security operatives. Palpable fear and fierce apprehension have engulfed the seat of power since the United States Embassy raised the alarm of an elevated risk of terror attacks in Nigeria, specifically in Abuja, on Sunday, October 23, 2022.
