The FCT Security Committee has reassured the residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of the safety of their lives and property, as adequate security arrangements have been made to sustain the state of law and order in the nation’s capital.
This was one of the high points of the resolutions at the just-concluded Monthly FCT Security Committee meeting held Thursday in Abuja.
The meeting examined the current state of law and order in and around the Territory and reassured that all necessary arrangements had been made by the government in conjunction with security agencies to safeguard the lives and property of all residents.
The meeting x-rayed the occasional incidences of criminality, especially pockets of kidnapping in the rural areas of the Territory, including the Yaba axis in the Abaji area council.
It was agreed that the security agencies in the FCT are on top of the situation, stressing that such cases were being tackled frontally.
The Committee noted that the security agencies have adopted proactive measures to fish out criminals and other persons wishing to truncate the peace and tranquility of the FCT.
The Committee received a report from the Directorate of Road Traffic Service (DRTS) updating it on the progress made in the new regime of the ban on commercial motorcycles in the Abuja metropolis and adjoining strategic areas.
Thus, on Wednesday, November 16, 2022, 118 commercial motorcycles were impounded and crushed in Durumi District; while 300 commercial motorcycles were also impounded and immediately crushed at Area 1 under the bridge totaling 418.
