In order to address the spike in criminal activity in Abuja, Senator Ireti Kingibe has announced that the Senate will be calling a meeting with Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and other pertinent security agencies.
The FCT delegate underlined the necessity of a thorough security plan during the Senate’s next meeting, given that Abuja is now dealing with an elevated degree of insecurity.
Senator Kingibe, a member of the Labour Party (LP), declared on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme that the Senate would meet with committees in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), including her own, to talk about the security plans of the relevant ministers and security agencies.

“I plan that the (Senate) FCT committees, specifically me, needs to sit with the two ministers and the security agencies for them to give us their plans concerning security,” stated Senator Kingibe.
“It is not that I am hoping. I know he will be summoned. But whether he responds or not is a different matter entirely. But as the chief security officer of the FCT, he should have a plan.
“He should be able to tell us, the committee, and specifically me, that this is the plan for protecting the people of the FCT. Between him, the police commissioner, and the head of the DSS, they must have a plan.”
Asserting his concerns about the level of insecurity in Abuja, Senator Kingibe, who took office last year, praised the security agencies for their efforts in fighting crime in the Federal Capital Territory. She underlined how crucial it is that the FCT’s senior security officer offer a detailed security plan to solve the issues.
“And I must commend the security agencies for doing something when we started to scream. But the truth is a little bit earlier, I tried to draw their attention and I was told that it was exaggerated and I said it couldn’t be because what I’m telling them, I did not get from social media. I got it from my constituents. But I’m glad that everybody, we are now all seem to be on the same page,” she said.

“They’re trying to take it all seriously, but a lot more needs to be done. Catching the kidnappers is just the symptom. We need to get to the root cause of what is causing all of this insecurity.”
