‘Repent Or Die’ – Wike Warns Kidnappers’ Informants In FCT

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has cautioned individuals who provide information to kidnappers, bandits, and criminals in the territory to desist from such acts or risk being apprehended by security operatives.

Lifestyle Nigeria reports that Wike gave the warning during a town hall security meeting held in the Kuje Area Council of the territory on Saturday. He also implored residents of the area council to play their part in providing relevant information that would aid security agencies.

“We are going to tackle insecurity head-on. These bandits and criminals, their time is up. I know some of the criminal informants are here listening to me and if you are an informant, you will die the same way those people you are informing will die.

“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.

“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,” he added.

The minister also expressed shock at the state of roads in Kuje Area Council, vowing that he would revisit the council’s file and construct motorable roads for the residents.

Okene Crash: FRSC Emergency Operators Rescue Road Traffic Victims

Emergency rescue teams of the Federal Road Safety Corps endured another over 3 hours of inferno in their bid to rescue road traffic victims at the scene of a fatal crash that claimed 19 lives on Sunday 28 April, 2024 at Okene bypass, on the Okene-Lokoja highway in Kogi State.

Lifestyle Nigeria reports that Assistant Corps Marshal, Corps Public Education Officer, FRSC Headquarters, Abuja, Jonas Agwu, disclosed this in a statement.

The statement read in part, “The FRSC emergency rescue teams deployed to rescue the victims could not achieve desired results as the efforts they put into the rescue operations was unduly hindered by the fire inferno that engulfed the two vehicles.

You would recall that the Corps Marshal had during his press conference on Thursday last week drawn the attention of road users to issues of imbibing moral and ethical rebirth, which have become a major issue in the country.

He warned against traffic violations citing instances where they resulted in avoidable crashes with fire outbreak, leading to wanton loss of precious lives and destruction to properties.

As a result of that he had earlier emphasised on the need for maximum penalty for these drivers. Dauda Biu reaffirmed the resolution of the Corps to continue its ongoing prosecution of drivers who by their actions cause road traffic crashes in Nigeria, noting that the driver of the truck involved in the Okene crash will not be an exception.

As such, he called on the Judiciary, leadership of transport unions and other relevant stakeholders in the road transportation sector to join hands with the Corps towards restoring sanity through speedy and effective prosecution.
