In order to address some of the insecurity challenges in some rural communities in Federal Capital Territory, FCT, commissioner of police, FCT, CP Benneth C. Igweh, on May 6, 2024, commenced the deployment of motorcycles and personnel across the rural areas.
In a statement issued by FCT Police Command, in Abuja and signed by SP Josephine Adeh, Police Public Relations Officer, for the Commissioner of Police, FCT, Abuja.
The statement reads in part,”You may recall that recently, the Honorable Minister, FCT, Barr.
Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, donated thirty (30) motorcycles to the command in his continuous support and responsiveness to the security and safety of residents, which he believed should not be limited to the metropolis but be extended to remote and rural communities in the nation’s capital where bandits and kidnappers have recently turned to hideouts.
”The deployment of the motorcycles, painted police colors, was made to aid swift operational response to communities and areas where vehicles may not easily assess or navigate when the need arises.
”While extending heartfelt gratitude to the Honorable Minister, FCT, the Commissioner of Police, FCT, CP Benneth C. Igweh, psc, mni, promises to effectively utilize this equipment towards ensuring the safety and security of the residents of FCT.
