The Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has directed that Abuja and the Satellite Towns in the FCT be completely rid of street beggars/traders, ‘one chance’ syndicates, scavengers, miscreants and other social nuisances.

Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Minister, Lere Olayinka, said in a statement on Wednesday that an operation code-named ‘Operation Sweep Abuja’ of miscreants, street beggars/traders, scavengers and other criminal elements has commenced in the FCT.

The statement read; “In line with the Abuja Environmental Protection Act, and other relevant laws, the FCT Minister, Barrister Nyesom Wike has directed the immediate evacuation of miscreants, street beggars and traders, scavengers and other criminal elements from the FCT.

“Our nation’s capital should be a secured symbol of pride and beauty, not a site for street beggars and scavengers, most of whom are agents of criminal elements.

“To achieve this, a Joint Task Force, comprising security agencies and relevant FCT SDAs have been deployed to apprehend any persons found begging, scavenging, loitering or engaging in other acts inimical to the well-being of the residents. Arrangements have been made to profile them and hand them over to their home state governments.
