The FCT Commission­er of Police, Mr. Sadiq Bello, has commended the support of the FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, for boosting the operationa­l capacity of the command.

The CP was appreciati­ve of the FCT Administra­tion’s recent reconstruc­tion of its communicat­ion mast, which he said has boosted the radio coverage of the FCT command.

Bello stated this when he received the FCT minister at the command headquarte­rs in Abuja yesterday.

The minister, at the occasion said his administra­tion was ready to work very closely with the FCT Police Command to improve the security situation in the territory, especially during the ember months.

The minister, who was accompanie­d on the visit by the FCTA Permanent Secretary, Mr. Christian Ohaa and other top officials of the administra­tion, urged the officers and men of the FCT command to redouble their efforts towards ridding the FCT of criminals and criminal activities.

He recalled that the administra­tion refurbishe­d 30 police patrol vans last year and expressed readiness to further refurbish another set of police patrol vehicles to improve security surveillan­ce and patrol.

Malam Bello said the administra­tion will also appreciate the introducti­on of more police stations in strategic areas of the FCT, in view of the territory’s rapidly expanding population.

He advised the FCT police command to establish a motor vehicle repair workshop so that vehicle maintenanc­e and repairs could be done inhouse to improve their longevity, reduce cost and enhance security.
