About 140 police officers lost their lives in active service last year in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Also, 1,426 cases of kidnapping, armed robbery, “one chance”, cybercrime, homicide, burglary, fraud, cultism, police misconduct and car theft suspects were reported, out of which 1,000 were arrested.
FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Superintendent of Police, Josphine Adeh, made this known in a statement.
Adeh said the command also recovered 376 firearms, including 13 AK-47 magazines and 187 rounds of live ammunition.
The command, she said, recovered over N409 million from the suspects.
She said: “The Federal Capital Territory (FCT), located at the heart of the Federation and bordered by Niger, Kaduna, Kogi, and Nasarawa States, serves as the political and business hub of Nigeria. Its unique position attracts diverse individuals, including those with both legitimate and illegitimate intentions. At the start of 2024, the FCT faced significant security challenges across its six area councils, including banditry, kidnapping, armed robbery, car theft, “one-chance” robbery, illegal possession and use of firearms, homicides, and other violent crimes.
“In alignment with the directives of the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, the FCT Police Command conducted a thorough analysis of the security situation, carried out crime-mapping, identified crime hotspots, and implemented an action plan with the following strategies: robust community policing engagements, sustained targeted clearance operations, intelligence-led and visibility policing and collaboration with sister security agencies and strategic communication, public enlightenment, and sensitisation.’’
