The Nation Newspaper Killing of 100 in Abuja false, exaggerated, says Wike
has described recent report that 100 people were killed in one of the FCT area councils in Abuja as false and exaggerated.
“Let me say something here. The security situation is not peculiar to FCT. Before now you are aware that some many states are aware that there are security challenges and they have complained about kidnappings and banditry, infact, i still don’t know where we have this report where over 100 people have been killed. That is not a tenable report.
Fear has continued to grip many residents over the activities of criminals who disguise as commercial vehicle operators to attack and rob unsuspecting victims.A joint task force on cross-border crimes was set up last week to tackle the security menace called ‘one-chance’ robbery, with the involvement of all security operatives in the FCT.The Minister blamed the rising crime in the capital city on illegal motor parks and uncompleted buildings used as dens by criminals.
Wike added: “Just last week, we set up a task force on those states that we have borders with and one-chance. Joint security task force including the SSS, the police, the army, the navy, and they have identified the way they will operate.
