FCT Police Warn as Okada Riders Allegedly Plan Attacks on Task Force Officials

The Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Police Command has issued a stern warning over an alleged plot by okada riders to launch attacks on task force officials operating within the Kubwa axis.

DAILY POST reports that a voice note currently circulating on social media suggests that a group of commercial motorcyclists have concluded plans to attack officials of the FCT Task Force.

It was alleged that task force officials recently carried out a clampdown on the motorcyclists, impounding over 200 motorcycles.

Reacting, the police command, in a statement issued on Thursday night by its spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, said such conduct amounts to “criminality and will be met with the full weight of the law”.

According to Josephine, the “command will not hesitate to deploy all lawful means, including arrests, prosecution, and necessary force, to deal decisively with perpetrators of public disorder”.

The statement further warned that the command possesses both the capacity and the resolve to protect public officers, safeguard lives and property, and ensure law and order within the FCT.
