On Wednesday, March 13, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), said that certain abduction stories in Abuja are stage-managed.
Additionally, Wike pledged to provide residents of the nation’s capital with additional infrastructure and better security.

The Senators had invited the Minister and Benneth Igweh, the Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory, to brief them on the measures implemented to protect citizens of the FCT.
The minister reported that the meeting was productive and that the senators concurred that the FCT’s security has greatly improved.

“I am glad they are all,” he remarked pleased with what we have accomplished and what we want to accomplish, and they offered some recommendations for future steps.
What matters is what the FCT ought to anticipate going forward. I’ll suggest enhanced infrastructure and security. You are able to observe events within the FCT. It is currently being used as a building site.
What has transpired in the FCTA is also visible to you. We now have our own Permanent Secretaries, which has never been the case before, and our own Civil Service Commission. The FCT has new developments, and the locals are content.
No community can live without some type of crime, he said, adding that it was crucial to be able to restrict or lessen the Situation.
“The majority of abduction stories you hear, some of them are stage-managed by people,” stated Wike. Certain internal arrangements exist.
Consider the scenario when a driver or housekeeper in your home plans to abduct your boss’s child. What do you want us to do in such a situation?
“The only thing we can do is make sure the kidnapped person is released.”
The minister stated that the number of kidnappings in Abuja has decreased after the two most sought abductors who were frightening citizens of the Federal Capital Territory were apprehended.
“We are not saying we have gotten to where,” he stated.
