BREAKING: WIKE SUMMONS EMERGENCY MEETING OVER RISING INSECURITY IN ABUJA
he Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has summoned an emergency security meeting amid the heightened insecurity currently bedevilling the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
Wike disclosed this while speaking at an event, where he assured FCT residents of their safety.
He said the government was working to support security agents with all that they need to tackle insecurity.
Among those in attendance are heads of security agencies in the FCT, top officials of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), council chairmen as well as traditional rulers.
