Today tuesday,President Mhammadu Buhari,put in place strict measures to forestall terror attacks at the Presidential Villa,Abuja.The Chief Security Officer {CSO} to President Muhammadu Buhari,B Abubakar,in a circular dated 26th of January,2016 with Reference number C-in-C/CSO/LTU/558 directed all tinted cars and other vehicles to be thoroughly searched.According to him,most of the major attacks by terrorists groups around the world against high profile targets were done with hijacked vehicles or tinted vehicles.The circular titled 'Use of tinted cars around the Presidential Villa,Abuja reads''.
