Security arrangements were the primary concern when members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress visited the police command. They brought a letter about a planned visit, which was received by the Commissioner of Police. The letter's purpose was to inform the police, and it was not intended for the governor.

Further details about the visit and the letter are available. A discussion about the visit took place on a television programme, where the Commissioner of Police shared information about the letter and the visit. The circumstances of the letter's presentation are known, including the time of day it was received.
