Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has stated that there is no banditry happening in Abuja.
He made this remark in a video on Channels TV, where he addressed concerns about security in Abuja.
According to Wike, the security challenges or issues in the country are everywhere.
He explained that every major city in the world, including developed places like the United States, deals with various forms of crime.
He noted that it is nearly impossible for any city to be completely free of criminal activities.
Wike said, “There’s no where in this world, be it in America, . . . developed countries, that you would say there’s no one form of crime.”
Speaking on the specific situation in Abuja, Wike said he does not believe that bandits are operating in the city.
He mentioned that there has been only one major incident. He also pointed out that people often ignore the work being done to reduce or stop these crimes.
He said, “The point is that we’ve only heard one incident but nobody has said we’ve been able to curb or reduce this. I don’t believe about banditry.”
Wike suggested that a major city like Abuja is a target for different types of criminals.
He admitted that there are cases of kidnapping, which he said are carried out by people who come into the city specifically to commit such acts.
He said, “It’s a city where people want to come and do all kinds of things by kidnapping. It will be difficult for anybody to say that in a city you will not have one form of crime. There’s no banditry in Abuja.”
Wike insisted that “banditry” does not apply to the current situation in Abuja.
