The Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Federal Capital Territory, Command, Olusola Odumosu, has called on officers and men of the Command to intensify their intelligence gathering to curb the current security challenges in the territory.
Odumosu disclosed in a statement on Wednesday through the FCT Command’s Public Relations Officer, CSC Idoko Samuel, during a briefing with personnel at the Command’s headquarters, Wuse, Zone 5, Abuja.
In the statement, he noted that the criminals were not ghosts, adding that they were members of the various communities.
“We must, therefore, intensify efforts by fully activating our intelligence architecture to identify them and ensure they are brought to book,” the statement said
Condemning the inflow of bandits, especially in communities located in the woods and the fringes of the FCT, the command stated that their activities were escalated by the porous borders shared with Niger, Kaduna and Nasarawa states.
He requested for heightened collaboration and cooperation of his personnel with the people for a seamless exchange of necessary information to bring the fight against insecurity to a logical conclusion.
“While our war against vandals is ongoing, we must shine our searchlight on the issue of kidnapping that has become the order of the day in FCT.
“Without information to work with, there is little or nothing the security agencies can do,” he said
The Commandant thanked the Minister of the FCT, Barr Nyesom Wike, for the support he is giving to security agencies in the Federal Capital Territory and assured him and other residents of an end to the current situation soon.
