The Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory Command, CP Ahmed Sanusi, has directed all 17 Divisional Police Officers under the Metro Area Command to end robbery and related criminal activities within the city centre within two weeks.
Sanusi gave the directive on Friday during a meeting with the DPOs convened to review the prevailing security situation and strengthen operational strategies across the command.
According to a statement issued by the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, the meeting focused on emerging security threats and operational gaps within the Metro Area Command.
The statement said the commissioner expressed concern over rising incidents of traffic robbery, vehicle snatching at gunpoint, “one-chance” robberies, reckless driving, vandalism of public and private property, illegal parking on highways, traffic congestion, as well as the activities of commercial motorcyclists operating on major roads.
