To counteract the escalating instances of theft and vandalism that have been adversely impacting the FCT metropolis, our command took result oriented approach. We activated strategically planned routine night patrols, which has today  proven to be highly effective. It was in the course of these patrols that we successfully arrested nineteen (19) scavengers and miscreants within the stipulated time frame.”

Odumosu who added that the arrested suspects have   undergone comprehensive interview and profiling processes, saying that they will be handed over to the Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB) for possible further prosecution.

He said, “These intensified measures serve a dual purpose: deterring potential criminals and ensuring the apprehension of those responsible for these unlawful activities.

“ Through these actions, we are sending an unequivocal and resolute message that criminal behavior will no longer be tolerated within our jurisdiction.

The proactive strategy we have embraced underscores the unswerving commitment of the government to address the concerns of its citizens. We are steadfastly dedicated to safeguarding the integrity of critical national assets and infrastructure throughout the FCT Metropolis.

“In conclusion, the FCT Command remains fully committed to upholding its duty of curbing vandalism. Our collective effort, combined with the support of the community and relevant agencies, will undoubtedly contribute to a safer and more secure Federal Capital Territory.”
