The Commissioner of Police in the Federal Capital Territory, CP Miller Dantawaye, has led an operational assessment of the Karshi, Kurudu and Karu mountain corridors, introducing fresh deployments along the stretch.
The patrol, conducted on December 31, 2025, covered Karshi, Kurudu, Karu Bakin Uza and Karufe Hill in the Nasarawa mountain axis as part of efforts to strengthen security around vulnerable border communities.
Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, in a statement issued on Thursday, said the Commissioner also paid a courtesy visit to the palace of the Sa Karuyi of Karu, HRH Joseph Danfulani Narai (JP), during the tour.
At the palace, the Commissioner stressed the importance of collaboration between security agencies, traditional rulers and community leaders, urging residents to support police operations by providing timely and useful information.
Adeh disclosed that, “The CP thereafter inspected operational deployments across the mountainous terrains of Karshi, Kurudu, Karu, Bakin Uza and Karufe Hill in Nasarawa, where he assessed personnel deployment aimed at maintaining effective control of the area, which also serves as a border between the FCT and Nasarawa State.”
He later inspected personnel locations across the Karshi-Karu belt, assessing deployments intended to maintain firm control of the area, which serves as one of the key borders between the FCT and Nasarawa State.
She added that, “While interacting with officers deployed to the area, CP Dantawaye commended their commitment and resilience, encouraged them to remain vigilant, and assured them of his full support to enable the effective discharge of their duties.”
The statement noted that the operational tour is part of the Command’s broader strategy to monitor flashpoints and strengthen security presence across difficult terrains within and around Abuja.
Residents were therefore urged to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity using the FCT Police emergency lines: 08032003913 and 07057337653.
