Insecurity: PCRC charges security agencies on contemporary approaches

Dr. Rufus Ebegba, the Chairman of the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) in the Federal Capital Territory, has urged security agencies to adopt contemporary strategies in addressing the increasing insecurity in the FCT and its surroundings. Ebegba made this plea during an interview with journalists in Abuja on Sunday, responding to the numerous security threats in the area.

He emphasized the need for security agencies to strategically acquire and deploy modern equipment, including Armoured Personnel Carriers, surveillance helicopters, armoured motorcycles, and utility vehicles for patrols and offensive operations.

The recent surge in insecurity in the FCT has raised concerns among the public, affecting the daily lives of residents. Ebegba commended the vigilance and efforts of the Police and other relevant security agencies, acknowledging their success in apprehending criminal masterminds and securing the release of kidnap victims and hostages.

Highlighting the urgency of addressing insecurity, especially in the face of kidnapping cases, Ebegba stressed the importance of citizens being vigilant and fulfilling their responsibilities. He urged people to report anything suspicious or unusual to the nearest police station or personnel.

Ebegba concluded by emphasizing that security and maintaining social order are collective responsibilities, and everyone must contribute to ensuring the safety of lives and properties in the community.
