Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has empowered security agencies in Abuja to take the battle to criminals.
The Minister gave the charge while presenting 50 brand new operational vehicles to the security agencies in the nation’s capital to support the fight against insecurity.
The Minister said security was of top priority, stressing the commitment of the Federal Capital Territory Administration to the security of the nation’s capital.
“We must not give space, we must not allow the criminals to strike before we go in,” the former Rivers State helmsman said.
“We have to take the war to them, let them know that we are serious. So, this festive period, make sure that you don’t give them any gap,” he added.
Wike further disclosed that 12 police divisions were currently being constructed in the six Area Councils of the FCT as was requested by the FCT Police Commissioner.
He called on residents of the FCT to support the security agencies and to report untoward activities in their communities to nip security threats in the bud.
