Police to Establish Two New Divisions in Gwagwalada Council Over Rising Cases of Kidnapping

In a recent development, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, confirmed the arrest of some informants working for kidnappers who had launched daring attacks on some parts of the FCT.

This is just as he directed the FCT Commissioner of Police to “immediately set up two additional police divisions in the Gwagwalada area council.”

The minister made this known on Friday during a town hall meeting with various stakeholders, which included the area council chairman, traditional rulers, security operatives, and residents of Gwagwalada town.

He asserted that the kidnappers and their informants should get ready to face the law, while he assured residents of the Gwagwalada area not to panic as there would be an improvement in the security situation in the FCT in the coming days.

However, while responding to one of the plights of residents, which was limited security operatives in the area, the minister directed the Commissioner of Police to immediately set up two additional police divisions in the Gwagwalada area council.

This was the second visit Wike made to the area council to dialogue with residents and propose solutions to the insecurity in the nation’s capital.
