The commissioner of police, FCT command, Benneth Igweh has commenced the deployment of motorcycles and personnel across the rural areas in the federal capital territory to aid rapid security response operations and efforts against banditry.
This followed the donation of the motorcycles to the command by the FCT minister Nyesom Wike, as part of his continuous support to the security and safety of residents, which he believed should not be limited to the metropolis but to remote and rural communities in the nation’s capital where bandits and kidnappers have recently turned to hideouts.
A statement from the command’s public relations officer, SP Josephine Adeh said the deployment of the motorcycles, was made to aid swift operational response to communities and areas where vehicles may not easily assess or navigate when the need arises.
While thanking the minister for the gesture, the commissioner promised to effectively utilize them towards ensuring the safety and security of the residents of FCT.
He also urged residents to be vigilant and take advantage of the police emergency lines in reporting suspicious activities for prompt action.
