She added, “the above development is proof of the command’s unwavering resolve to further maintain peace and stability within the Federal Capital Territory.”
She said the command wished to reaffirm that it would not relent in its efforts to ensure that it brings to book all criminal elements within the FCT.
According to her, the FCT police commissioner, Bala Ciroma, urged all well-meaning residents of the territory to desist from engaging in any action capable of causing breakdown of law and order.
She said the commissioner also appealed to parents, guardians, community and religious leaders to prevail upon their wards to keep the peace.
