In response to the escalating insecurity in Abuja, Senator Kingibe, the representative of the FCT, states that upon the Senate’s resumption later this month, they will invite Wike and others to present their plans for securing the area.

“When the Senate resumes, I plan that the (Senate) FCT committees specifically me, needs to sit with the two ministers and the security agencies for them to give us their plans concerning security,” Senator Kingibe, elected under the Labour Party (LP) said on Channels Television’s current affairs show Sunday Politics.

“It is not that I am hoping. I know he will be summoned. But whether he responds or not is a different matter entirely. But as the chief security officer of the FCT, he should have a plan.

“He should be able to tell us, the committee, and specifically me, that this is the plan for protecting the people of the FCT. Between him, the police commissioner, and the head of the DSS, they must have a plan.”

The lawmaker, who took office last year, praises security agencies for combating crime in the FCT. However, she emphasizes that she had previously alerted authorities about the growing insecurity in Abuja before the situation escalated.

“And I must commend the security agencies for doing something when we started to scream. But the truth is a little bit earlier, I tried to draw their attention and I was told that it was exaggerated and I said it couldn’t be because what I’m telling them, I did not get from social media. I got it from my constituents. But I’m glad that everybody, we are now all seem to be on the same page,” she said.

“They’re trying to take it all seriously, but a lot more needs to be done. Catching the kidnappers is just the symptom. We need to get to the root cause of what is causing all of this insecurity.”

But police authorities have made some progress in fighting insecurity, arresting some suspects, and rescuing abducted victims.
