To safeguard the safety and security of FCT citizens, Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has established two combined security task forces.
This was disclosed by the FCT Command’s Commissioner of Police, Haruna Garba, during a press conference on the conclusion of the FCT Security Council meeting on Friday in Abuja.
One of these, according to Garba, was a Joint Task Force on “one chance” activities, made up of all the security services in the FCT.
The other, he added, is a Joint Task Force to stop armed robbery, kidnapping, and all other types of criminal activity within the FCT and its surroundings.
He claims that the objective is to drive away criminal elements from the FCT, end transnational crime, and rein in “one chance” activity there.
“The FCT security council meeting, headed by Wike, met this afternoon and discussed ways and means of ensuring safety and security in FCT.
“Some of the ‘one chance’ operators have been arrested and would be prosecuted after investigations are concluded.
He assured residents of FCT of the resolve to curtail all forms of criminality within the FCT and its environment.
The commissioner assured FCT residents that the task force would crack down on the activities of “one chance” elements in the FCT.
“Residents will see significant improvement in the coming days,” he declared.
