The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has listed Bwari, Kuje and Abaji as the three of the six Area Councils that are worst hit by insecurity/kidnapping.
Director of Administration and Finance, FCTA Security Services Department, Ebele Molokwu, who spoke at the end of the year media briefing on the activities of the department, said major kidnapping incidents in the FCT were usually from those Councils even though there are some isolated cases in the others Area Councils.
The other Area Council include Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Gwagwalada and Kwali.
Molokwu explained that the Councils with the worst incidents of insecurity share boarder with some of the States noted for kidnapping, adding that when the terrorists/bandits strike in FCT, they usually run back to those States.
But she stated that the FCT Administration is determined to check both kidnapping and one chance syndicates in the territory.
The Director of the Department, Adamu Gwary, said the security committee has been divided into two – the kinetic, which made up of core security agencies; and the non-kinectic – which involves the traditional rulers and other relevant stakeholders.
Gwary noted that in the restructured security committee, the FCTA now involves traditional rulers in non-kinetic approach where the district heads meet regularly with the village heads and convey the decision reached at the meeting with the graded chiefs through the Ona of Abaji.
