Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has issued a strong warning to informants aiding kidnappers, bandits, and criminals, News About Nigeria reports.
Wike declared that their time was up, urging them to repent or face the consequences of their actions.
Addressing residents at the town hall security meeting held in Kuje town, Kuje Area Council, Wike encouraged the people to provide relevant information to security agencies, adding that the fight against criminal elements requires a united front.
He directed a warning specifically to criminal informants, cautioning them to repent or face the same fate as those they collaborate with.
The minister highlighted recent actions by security agencies, stating that the approach to tackling insecurity would not be ‘business as usual’.
“You have the opportunity of repenting today or else you are gone. Nobody will pity you. You have seen what the security agencies have been doing in the past few days. That is to show to you that it is not busy as usual,” he said.
He urged residents not to be afraid and assured them that the government is ready to address the situation decisively.
Wike called on residents to provide information and work closely with security personnel to combat criminal activities effectively.
He said; “Be fully aware that we are ready for you. I told the Chairman to make sure that the vigilance groups are empowered and we must do it well. They must be profiled and the security agencies must know them. And to the residents, give us information. You must work with the security agencies and provide them with information.”
Expressing concern about the state of roads in Kuje Area Council, Wike pledged to revisit the council’s file and initiate the construction of motorable roads for the benefit of the people.
