He decried the influx of bandits, especially in communities located in the hinterlands and the fringes of the FCT, stressing that, their activities was escalated by the porous borders.

Mr Odumosu who maintained that all hands must be on deck, called for heightened collaboration of personnel with the people for seamless exchange of information to bring the fight against insecurity to a logical conclusion.

“We must work closely with FCT residents at all levels to get credible information and real time intelligence which is the key to any successful intervention.

The Commandant appreciates the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike for the support he is giving to security agencies in the Federal Capital Territory and assured him and other residents of an end to the current situation soon.

“I urge FCT residents to be vigilant, security conscious and to reach out to us whenever they see any suspicious movement of individuals, group of people or materials.

The Commandant assured residents that the security challenges are surmountable if everyone plays their part.
