A visit to some of these places in the FCT by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday revealed that corporate and private establishments were leaving nothing to chance as far as security was concerned.
Speaking with NAN, Mr Ebere Okoroafor, one of the managers of the Jabi Motor Park, noted that the park had put elaborate security measures in place to spot suspicious movements in the premises.
Okoroafor said “although the authorities in the park are doing their best to make sure that people coming in are properly screened but we cannot be perfect.’’
“Many people are actually coming into the park because of the Sallah celebration.
“Some are coming in to send items to their families, while some are travelling to various locations to celebrate with their loved ones,’’ he said.
Okoroafor appealed to the Federal Capital Territory Administration to assist them to stop illegal and indiscriminate parking.
He said this would enable the appropriate authorities concentrate on proper monitoring of the approved parking slots.
“We have also written to Utako Police Station, Vehicle Inspection Officer (VIO) and the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) for assistance on this very issue,’’
he said.
He advised members of the public to avoid patronising such parks as they were not secured to ensure a hitch free Sallah celebration.
Mrs Aisha Abdullahi, a customer at the Garki Modern market, said she came to the market because she was sure the place was safe.
