The Senior Special Assistant to the FCT Minister on Monitoring, Inspection and Enforcement, Comrade Ikharo Attah, while reacting to the assault, said, “Attack on the task force is normal in our operation. The security lady that was bitten by the other woman was very civil. We will leave the police to do their job.”
He reiterated the commitment of the FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Bello, in ridding the nation’s capital of shanties and all other illegal structures on road corridors, especially in highbrow areas and under high tension cables.
