The Commissioner of Police Force Provost Marshal, Force Headquarters, CP Olusegun Eyitayo Omosanyin, has ordered the eviction of adults from the Dei-Dei Police Barracks in Abuja.
This directive was issued on Thursday amid concerns about brigandage in the barracks.
A statement signed by Omosanyin described the criminal activities occurring in the barracks as alarming. He, therefore, directed that all adults aged 18 years and above, excluding serving policemen and their spouses, should vacate the barracks immediately.
The police issued a 14-day notice, which took effect from Thursday, January 30, 2025.
The statement read, “The Commissioner of Police Force Provost Marshal, Force Headquarters Abuja has directed that incessant cases of criminal activities being recorded within the neighbourhood of the MD Abubakar barrack is alarming.
