“There is total distrust in every sector, whether in civil service, military, Villa or government houses in the various states.

So, when you have that type of situation, you cannot run a society because the society is completely derailed; they don’t know what to do”.
At the time of this report, the director of Defence Information, Major General Jimmy Akpor, and the director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Musa Danmadami, had not responded to calls for comments.Meanwhile, in a bid to secure the lives and property of residents of Abuja, the FCT administration has procured and distributed 60 operational vehicles to security agencies and relevant agencies domiciled in the territory to fight against insecurity.
“What we are doing today is to showcase the FCTA’s contribution to the federal government’s efforts. Permit me to seize this opportunity to commend the efforts of our gallant men and women in uniform who are working tirelessly to ensure that we all remain safe, with some of them paying the supreme price,” he said.
“It is only by doing this, that the fight against crime can truly be won. It is worth mentioning that apart from these operational vehicles, the administration is equally providing other security-related gadgets and equipment for the optimal performance of the security agencies.”The officials of the Federal Capital Territory Administration have recovered part of the Nigerian Law School’s land used as a criminals’ hideout in Bwari area council.
