Again, Wike vows to flush out criminals from Abuja

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has vowed to flush out criminals disturbing Abuja.

The minister stated this when he flagged off the 9.8km Kabusa – Takushara road in Abuja on Tuesday.

He also reaffirmed the government’s readiness to uproot bandits frustrating farming activities in the city.

The minister has continually expressed the Federal Government’s readiness to restore security in all the troubled parts of the country.

He noted that the two-lane carriage way with solar streetlights and shoulders would be completed within six months.

Wike said: “On insecurity, without roads, if someone comes to attack you, can security agencies come down immediately? No. So, we have started. Every problem cannot be solved at the same time. What is important is that there is hope.

“The hunger is because of insecurity. You cannot go to farm because kidnappers and bandits will not allow you.

“Now, we are fighting them. We are going to show them pepper. So, don’t worry. I know what you have suffered, I know how impatient you are. Now we have started. Just know that hope has come back.

“Let me state here that once a government has made a promise, the government is obliged to fulfill the promise.

“One of the promises the president made is that those of you in the satellite towns, don’t think developments will be only in the city only.

“It will be in the satellite towns and one of the ways of doing it is by constructing roads and providing street lights.

“I want to assure you that in the next six to seven months, we will commission this project. It is not just about flag off.

“Don’t allow anybody to come and tell you stories. When they come, ask them, when they were there, did they remember Kabusa-Takushara or Kabusa-Ketti?”
