THE WHISTLER understands that the meeting which is scheduled to be held at the FCTA secretariat on Tuesday is in response to mounting pressure on government and security agencies to address worsening insecurity in the capital city.
The meeting is expected to have in attendance the FCT Commissioner of Police, Haruna Garba, FCT Commandant of the NSCDC, Olusola Odumosu, other heads of security agencies as well as council chairmen in the FCT.
THE WHISTLER reports that since the beginning of this year, no fewer than 20 persons have been kidnapped in Abuja.
Subsequently, the families started crowdfunding, with former minister of communications and digital economy, Ibrahim Pantami, raising N50 million for one of the affected families.
Residents of Sagwari Layout Estate, Dutse, Abuja, where 10 people were kidnapped, had also planned to stage a protest against the alleged inaction of government and security agencies to rescue their neighbours from the abductors.
The protest was, however, canceled in the last minute.
