The FCT Security Committee has assured the residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCTA), of safety of their lives and property during and after the yuletide season.
The committee said adequate security arrangement has been put in place to ensure that residents have a pleasurable Christmas and New Year celebrations.
In its 9th meeting held Tuesday in Gwarinpa I District, Abuja, the committee urged the security operatives to intensify surveillance in and around the territory to ensure that all forms of crimes and criminality are nipped in the bud.
These were some of the resolutions reached at the meeting attended by all heads of security formations in the FCT, Abuja.
The meeting, which was presided over by the FCT permanent secretary, Mr. Olusade Adesola, on behalf of the FCT minister, Mallam Muhammad Musa Bello, who is the chairman of the committee, also acknowledged some security infractions in the territory.
The meeting noted with excitement the commitment of the security agencies who carried out several raids on black spots that resulted in the arrest of 1,852 suspects out of which 542 have since been charged to court.
Also, the ugly incidence of vandalisation of public facilities was extensively discussed and the committee commended the security agencies for the raid carried out on Dei-Dei Market where numerous vandalised public facilities, such as manhole covers and electrical cables among others were recovered.
The raid further led to the arrest of 43 suspects and recovery of three AK-47 and all the arrested criminals will be made to face the full wrath of the law.
