Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has urged informants of kidnappers, bandits, and criminals in the territory to repent or face death at the hands of security personnel.
Wike issued the warning on Saturday during a town hall security meeting in the Kuje Area Council of the area.
He also asked citizens of the area council to play their part in providing pertinent information to security officials.
“We are going to tackle insecurity head-on. These bandits and criminals, their time is up. I know some of the criminal informants are here listening to me and if you are an informant, you will die the same way those people you are informing will die.
“You have the opportunity of repenting today or else you are gone. Nobody will pity you. You have seen what the security agencies have been doing in the past few days. That is to show to you that it is not busy as usual.
“Be fully aware that we are ready for you. I told the Chairman to make sure that the vigilance groups are empowered and we must do it well. They must be profiled and the security agencies must know them. And to the residents, give us information. You must work with the security agencies and provide them with information,” he added.
The minister also expressed shock at the state of roads in Kuje Area Council, vowing that he would revisit the council’s file and construct motorable roads for the residents.
