The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has again lashed out at the area council chairmen in the FCT, saying that any chairman who fails to hold the monthly security meeting will be viewed as a security threat.
The former Rivers governor who stated this at a town hall meeting in the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) condemned any chairman who decided to abandon the meeting because of non-payment of security stipends.
“How will you say you are not holding a monthly security meeting because you don’t have stipend? Henceforth, any chairman who fails to hold such meeting will be seen as a threat to security,” the minister was quoted.
He stated that the Administration would do all possible to assist security personnel.
Earlier, AMAC chairman Christopher Maikalagiu praised Wike for "developmental projects that he has been executing since he assumed office.”
SaharaReporters had reported how FCT, Abuja witnessed some cases of insecurity in recent times.
For instance, SaharaReporters had reported how kidnappers invaded the estate last Thursday night at about 10pm and took away his wife and two in-laws.
SaharaReporters also reported how some bandits attacked some communities around the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and kidnapped an undisclosed number of residents.
The attack reportedly extended to Zuma in neighbouring Niger State.
