The Federal Capital Territory Administration, has restated that grazing, begging, street hawking and commercial motorcycle remained banned in the Federal Capital City, Abuja and must be enforced by the security agents.
The FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Bello stated this on Monday in Abuja, after an emergency FCT Security Committee meeting.
Bello stressed that the FCT Administration would continue to collaborate with the security agencies to ensure that the ban was effective while following all due processes.
He emphasised that the institutions must be strengthened to carry out their statutory duties in line with the ‘Change Agenda’ of the Federal Government.
He however commended the security community for “the high-level intelligence sharing that has so far assisted the Administration to nip in the bud any security breach in the Territory.”
The security committee condemned the illegal attempt by some criminal gangs that stormed the Vocational and Rehabilitation Centre, Kuchiko in Bwari Area Council to rescue some of the inmates at the centre, following the arrest of 687 beggars.
