ASP Yusuf Mariam, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), in a statement, quoted the FCT Police Commissioner, Mr. Bala Ciroma, as saying that the Joint Security Team of the FCT wishes to refute the mischievous publication targeted at creating palpable tension amongst the well-spirited residents of the territory.

Contrary to the speculation, the Heads of Security Agencies (HOSA) in FCT in the bid to address security concerns within the FCT, held a strategic meeting on Thursday 29th April where the team resolved to deploy alternative proactive crime-fighting measures within the FCT particularly in areas with challenging terrain including aggressive motorized/patrols.

However, the patrols will be conducted in line with the peculiarities of every terrain within the territory, in other words, the team has adopted the use of motorcycles, horses and other technical means of gathering intelligence to checkmate criminality within the Federal Capital Territory.
