The Federal Capital Territory has constituted two joint task-forces to interdict against\u00a0\u00a0car robbery syndicates popularly known as one-chance and other violent crimes in the FCT and its environs.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0FCT Police Commissioner, Garba Haruna stated this in Abuja while briefing the press after the FCT Security Committee meeting, which was chaired by the FCT Minister, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike.<\/p>\n
Haruna said the two separate joint task-forces, which consist of all the security agencies in the Territory\u00a0had since commenced operations.<\/p>\n
He\u00a0assured the residents of the FCT of their resolve to rid the Territory of crimes and criminalities.<\/p>\n
The Police Commissioner\u00a0said eight suspected \u201cone-chance\u201d syndicates had been arrested while eight operational vehicles used by them had also been confiscated.<\/p>\n
He assured that the FCT will soon witness notable decline in the activities of the \u201cone-chance\u201d robbery syndicates.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been able to make arrests, eight within the last one week and they are still with us. I paraded them this morning. Eight vehicles, if you go to the FCT Police Command, you will still see them there, all with tinted glasses and those are the vehicles that these \u201cone chance\u201d people use,\u201d Haruna said.<\/p>\n
He added that the Police also carried out\u00a0raids on mechanic workshops within the city and other flash points, because a lot of people come into the city\u00a0with no well-defined purpose and end up in uncompleted buildings, mechanic workshops and under the bridges,\u00a0resorting to criminal activities.<\/p>\n
He urged\u00a0residents to report criminal activities to the security agencies through the emergency\u00a0response lines, adding that security is everybody\u2019s business.<\/p>\n
He\u00a0also called on the media to sensitize FCT residents on the trending issue of male or female organ disappearance, which he dispelled as false.<\/p>\n
The Police Commissioner disclosed that 62 cases of alleged organ disappearance had been recorded in the FCT, adding innocent lives could have been lost, but for the prompt response of the police and other sister security agencies to douse tension.<\/p>\n
He\u00a0said those who raised the false alarm had been taken to the court where some of them were fined for inciting the public and making false claims.<\/p>\n
