Wike Vows to Flush Out Criminals From Abuja

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike says his administration won’t leave any stone unturned in the quest to make the nation’s seat of power secure.

Bandits and other criminal elements have in recent months held sway in some parts of the FCT, killing and kidnapping others.

But Wike told a gathering at the flag off of the construction of Paikon-Kore Road in the Gwagwalada area of the FCT that his administration is on course to flush out criminals.

Some experts believe the country’s economic situation is driving a rise in kidnappings as desperate Nigerians turn to crime for income.
