The Commissioner of Police FCT Command, CP Benneth Igweh, has ordered a total clampdown of vehicles without number plates or with a single number plate plying the FCT roads.
He also tasked the heads of the tactical units to identify black spots, and possible kidnappers’ dens in the territory and ensure they take the fight to them.
This is as he ordered officers, to embrace intelligence-led policing, and visibility policing through constant stop and search duty in the fight against criminality.
Spokesperson of the Command, SP Josephine Adeh, in a statement, said, the CP gave the order when he met with the Management Team, leaders of all tactical units and Heads of Departments of the FCT Police Command comprising Area Commanders, and Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) on Saturday in Abuja.
CP Igweh noted that the meeting is aimed at revamping the approach of the already existing security framework as well as setting in motion the plan to ensure the safety of residents in the Federal Capital Territory.
He called for the adoption of effective community partnership in policing duties, adding that he would not tolerate laxity.
CP Igweh reiterated his readiness to combat criminality in the territory, as he called on residents to collaborate with the police in the fight against crime.
He appealed to residents to avoid the habit of boarding vehicles along the road and unapproved parks.
