The House of Representatives has summoned Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT); Nuhu Ribadu, National Security Adviser (NSA); and security chiefs to discuss the deteriorating security situation in Abuja.
Dominic Okafor, a member representing the Aguta Federal Constituency in Anambra State, moved the motion on Wednesday.
According to the congressman, insecurity in the FCT is
“very disappointing and unbefitting of a federal capital city”.
Mr. Okafor stated:
“The Federal Capital Territory is and remains the seat of the Federal Government, from where national policies are formulated, headquarters of Federal Government agencies are domiciled, international edifices are located, majority of foreigners and visitors are resident.
“The level of insecurity raving the centre of unity in recent times, is, to say the least, very disappointing and unbefitting of a federal capital city where there are escalating cases of ‘one chance’, armed robberies, banditry and rampant kidnappings and killings.”
