The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Bwari, FCT, has expressed concern over the escalating levels of insecurity in the area council and its surrounding areas.
Mr Paul Daudu, Chairman of the Bwari branch of the NBA (Cradle Bar), made this known on Monday in Abuja.
He said the association was deeply concerned about the escalating levels of insecurity in Bwari and its surrounding areas.
He said it is disheartening to witness the erosion of peace in the area and the constant threat faced by its residents on a daily basis.

“We can no longer sleep with closed eyes even with the council being home to some critical national assets like JAMB, Nigerian Law School Headquarters, Veritas University, among others.
“We call upon the relevant law enforcement agencies, particularly the Nigerian Police Force, to take immediate and decisive actions to restore law and order in the area,” Daudu said.
He said the association remains committed to working together with relevant stakeholders, including the government, traditional leaders, community organisations, and security agencies, to ensure the restoration of peace and security in Bwari.
“Collaborative efforts between the community, the police, and other security agencies are vital in effectively addressing these challenges.
“We will actively participate in initiatives aimed at fostering dialogue, promoting lawfulness, and enhancing the security infrastructure within our community.
“We urge them to prioritise the security needs of our community, reinforce their presence, and intensify their efforts to apprehend the perpetrators of these criminal acts. “We implore the government at all levels to increase investments in the security sector, provide necessary resources and logistical support to law enforcement agencies,” he added.
