The Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, has instructed the Commissioner of Police in the FCT to establish two new divisional police stations in the Gwagwalada community.
Additionally, the minister revealed that starting next week, operational vehicles and communication devices would be provided to police stations across the six area councils to bolster the efforts of security agencies in the territory.
Wike conveyed this information during his second town hall meeting on security at the Gwagwalada Area Council on Friday. While announcing the arrest of some informants of kidnappers, the minister pledged to drive criminals out of Gwagwalada, emphasizing that their time had come.
He said, “Security is one thing the President has said he will give Nigerians because his job is to make sure that he protects lives and property. If we cannot protect lives and property, then our being in government has no meaning.
“Criminals should get ready; their time has come. You all know that if I say something, I will do it. And as I have come here today, if you know you are one of the informants to these criminals, or you are one of the criminals too, your time has come. I and the security agencies will pursue you until you will not come near Gwagwalada again.”
The representative of the Commissioner of Police, who is here; tells the CP to work out how to provide two more police stations in Gwagwalada. Please, attend to it immediately. This is a security matter; it is not about bringing files every day.
“By next week, every police station in the six area councils will have more vehicles. We will also provide other communication gadgets for your work, to make sure we do not give these people a chance again”.
