Security has been tightened across Plateau State ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s scheduled visit to Jos on Saturday for the launch of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign in the North-Central geopolitical zone.

The visit is expected to attract political leaders, party supporters and other stakeholders from across the six states in the geopolitical zone, prompting increased security measures to ensure a peaceful and hitch-free event.

The police have deployed personnel to strategic locations across the state to strengthen security, maintain law and order and prevent any security breach before, during and after the presidential visit.

Isyaku Mohammed, the Deputy Inspector-General of Police who is in charge of Training and Development disclosed this while addressing journalists on Friday in Jos, assuring residents and visitors of adequate security arrangements.

Mohammed said the police had put necessary measures in place, including the deployment of personnel, to ensure the safety of the president, dignitaries and members of the public attending the campaign launch.

He said the police were working with other security agencies to provide effective security coverage, urging residents to cooperate with security personnel and report suspicious movements or activities.

The presidential visit and campaign launch are expected to place Jos at the centre of political activities in the North-Central zone as the APC prepares to mobilise support for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election.
