Wike Summons Emergency Security Meeting in Response to Rising Insecurity in FCT

In response to the increased insecurity in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Minister Nyesom Wike has summoned for an urgent security meeting to address the prevailing challenges

Wike disclosed this during a speech at an event, where he assured residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) about their safety.

He said that the government is committed to supporting security agents with everything they require to tackle the issue of insecurity.

Present at the gathering are leaders of security agencies in the FCT, key officials from the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), council chairmen, and traditional rulers

Wike cautioned the area council chairmen to be vigilant in fulfilling their responsibilities at the local level. Over the recent weeks, parts of the FCT have witnessed banditry, with residents being abducted from their homes

The tension escalated due to incidents where residents, including a 13-year-old secondary school student, lost their lives because they couldn’t meet the ransom payment deadline

Kanyi Daily recalls that Nyesom Wike had expressed a renewed commitment to peace amidst the recent tensions with Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
