FCT Police Command Sustains Assaults on Criminals
The proactive security measures put in place by the FCT Police Command to beef up security and fight crime in the Federal Capital Territory has continued to yield positive result.
It is therefore pertinent to reassure members of the public that the Command has intensified its onslaught against criminals through constant raid of identified criminal hideouts, strategic deployment of uniform and plain clothe police operatives, surprise stop and search and the adoption of foot and vehicular patrols. This measures have contributed greatly to the successes the Command has recorded in its fight against crime.
On behalf of the Commissioner of Police FCT, may I seize this medium to express our profound appreciation to FCT residents who have been supporting the Command with information. Since security is a collective responsibility, we are seeking for more of such partnership and collaboration.
