Eagle Square is under heavy guard today as the APC holds its national convention.

At Eagle Square, the site of the All Progressives Congress's national convention, there are a lot of security operatives.

Security personnel were stationed in key locations throughout Eagles Square.

Soldiers, police officers, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps men, and other paramilitary operatives from the Federal Road Safety Commission, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, and the Nigeria Immigration Service make up the operatives.

As our reporter moved around the convention centre, he noticed police patrol vans manned by armed officers stationed at strategic locations around Eagle Square.

Additionally, those attempting to pass through the road that connects the venue were subjected to stop and search, and vehicular movements were restricted, with several vehicles being turned back by security personnel.

The Goodluck Ebele Jonathan road by the Court of Appeal; behind the Court of Appeal; ECOWAS by the Women Affairs ministry; Finance junction; behind the Foreign Affairs ministry; Kur Mohammed by the National Mosque; Benue Plaza; Nitel junction; Phase 3; NNPC Tower; Ceddi Plaza bridge; Gana street by the Transcorp hotel; DSS headquarters; Phase 1; NASS Junction; Bullet junction and Bayelsa House are among them.

Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps, had ordered operatives to work closely with the Nigerian Police Force and other security agencies to ensure hitch-free vehicular movement.

According to Bisi Kazeem, the Corps Public Education Officer, operatives drafted to cover the national convention were also required to clear obstructions from the roads, conduct rescue operations in the event of an emergency, and maintain order around the cordoned areas.

To ensure the Corps plays an effective role in ensuring smooth traffic flow, the Corps Marshal also directed the Deputy Corps Marshal in charge of the Department of Operations to activate the deployment of 1500 Corps personnel and 35 vehicles, including tow trucks, bikes, and ambulances, to strengthen enforcement of restrictions throughout the convention process.

He warned the personnel on the ground to take an active role in the democratic process, displaying the highest levels of professionalism and ingenuity, and avoiding any temptation that could lead to the abuse of voters' rights.

The Corps Marshal wished the ruling party a peaceful, free, and fair convention while reading the marching order to the troops.
