Two days after Jabi Lake Mall made a similar decision, the construction industry behemoth Julius Berger in Abuja has suspended operations due to security threats.
In a statement made available to the media on Saturday, October 29, 2022; Julius Berger warned its employees to stay away from public areas over the weekend and noted that temporary relocation to other locations may be considered.
“In response to the ongoing security concern within the FCT and Central Abuja.
“It is advised to avoid all public events within the FCT environment, including supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, bars, clubs and other areas where many meet.

This advice is applicable from, 28.10.2022 in the evening until Monday, 31.10.2022 in the morning.
“It remains possible to move to other JBN work or residential locations throughout the weekend.
“Your safety is our primary concern.”
Two organisations have ceased operations in Abuja, despite Police’s denial of accusations that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) was overrun with explosive explosives.
The claim was false, and CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the force’s public relations officer, asked Nigerians to dismiss it in a statement.
“It is shocking and depressing to learn that bombs are being put in every part of the FCT through the news and social media.
“It is unfortunate that the report is even coming from some individuals who are presumed to be peace ambassadors and patriotic agents of national unity.
“I don’t think it will do our country any good to continually spread such fearful rumors to further create more panic to citizens and residents of the FCT and Nigeria at large”.
