Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mallam Mohammed Bello, has charged security agencies to arrest anyone who comes to solicit bail for arrested criminals.

The Minister who gave the charge on Thursday during the weekly ministerial briefing organised by the Presidential Communication Team explained this was part of efforts to keep the metropolis safe and free of crimes.

Bello also said the revenue generation drive of the FCT is targeted at surpassing that of Lagos State.

He informed the Federal Capital City generates more than N200 billion annually.

Speaking on curbing crime rate in Abuja, the Minister said the charge to security agencies became more pertinent because there had been reports of some highly-placed individuals who had been known to solicit release of arrested criminal elements.

He appealed to residents to expose those involved in freeing such urchins by reporting them to authorities.

Mohammed affirmed that the criminal justice system in the territory had challenges as its three correctional facilities are filled to capacities and unable to take in more convicts.

According to him, criminals convicted in Abuja courts are being sent to Suleja in Niger State as the territory is proposing what he called a “bolster centre” to accommodate underage convicts.

The Minister also noted that his administration has earmarked N1bn to renovate the National Mosque and National Ecumenical Centre to ensure they remain visitable sites in the FCT.

He blamed the need for demolition of structures in the territory on the failure of past Ministers to properly carry out their responsibilities.

According to him, if agencies had been able to do their jobs, the structures earmarked for demolition would not have sprung up in the first place.

Nice one. The reason crime rate keeps going up in Nigeria is because most criminals are cock sure they will be released immediately their Godfathers step in.

The police should also arrest and kill all the national looters.

Talk about the chief corrupt leader first.

I hate Nigerian elites ehn...very hopeless set of idiots...

Mere talk. Most of the VIPs are criminals

He should top the list. By the way, have they picked up Slawomir?

That means they will have to build more prisons.

Infact no Nigerian big man will scale through a genuine lagal scrutiny of their sources of living.

This country is one big pile of dump.

You’re right man!!

We should start with Buhari first that pardoned two ex governors that are criminals.

Front page!!!

SECONDED.


Each and any politicians that have stolen from our National treasury, and make life difficult for Nigerians, since independence, no matter the political party they are, they will never enjoy their stolen goods in good health and peace till the rest of their miserable lives.

For all the suffering people are going through in this nation, any looting and thieving politician, , will not end well.

And this also goes to their supporters, nothing good will come their way in life.

Start with BUbU first!!

Will they do that??
They will just rush and bail the criminals and collect money.
..
..
And the next thing you will hear is:
“The order to bail him came from above”
..
Above Kiiii all of una there

That is not democratic....

Arrest for what? This one want to put police in trouble...

mooremoney:

Yes

You to need to be arrested,FCT minister,see as crime and criminals full abuja, because you are incompetent, product of nepotism

The big men coming to bail the criminals are the real criminals.
..
They are the real devils, while the “criminals” are just the small “demons”

Pardon my digression, but is this fellow a Nigerian? Just look at his face, looks like some Fulani from sahel. This one will defend the activities of Fulani bandits/ businessmen with all vigor.
How did we come this far?

Buhari disappointed people wey think say him go fight kwarrupshun

Most evill things in Nigeria are sponsored by rich men and women.

Senator Ndume top the list. Those miscreants from Maiduguri are the major threat to security in the fct.once you arrest them that useless senator always come for their bail

It's my Birthday

Ok

Way to go!

Mere talk!
Meanwhile the most popular bandits rights activist Gumi is proposing for ministry of Bandits"(our children)" and no security agency has called him in for interrogation.

No be I.G and hierarchies dey give police order? Mr. Minister, your speech is for the gullible. We know elections are here.
