Following the persistence of rising cases of ‘One chance’ robbery, the minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike on Thursday, October 19, vowed to shut down illegal motor parks.

Fear has continued to grip many residents over the activities of criminals who disguise as commercial vehicle operators to attack and rob unsuspecting victims.

Wike disclosed this on a live broadcast with selected reporters in his office.

There have been reported cases of ‘one-chance’ robbery and kidnapping in Abuja for weeks.

A joint task force on cross-border crimes was set up last week to tackle the security menace called ‘one-chance’ robbery, with the involvement of all security operatives in the FCT.

The task force was constituted after a security meeting chaired by Wike.

The minister blamed the rising crime in the capital city on illegal motor parks and uncompleted buildings used as dens by criminals.

He said,

“We’re getting a lot of reports about kidnappings here, about one-chance there.

“In most cases, we don’t even let the public know what has been done. I can tell you the security agencies have done quite a lot. If not, by now, the FCT would have been a different thing.

“One of the areas we identified is that the FCT is at the centre, we have Niger State, we have Kogi State, we have Nasarawa State, we have Kaduna State. And if you check these four states, these four states are states that (experience) from time to time, banditry, kidnapping.

“And we discovered that most of the areas that they (criminals) stay are shanties and uncompleted buildings and that is why we say we cannot allow these uncompleted buildings where criminals have made their place of abode. Bring down all these uncompleted buildings which have turned to shanties and they will have nowhere to hide.”

Wike stated further,

“Just last week, we set up a task force on those states that we have borders with and one-chance. Joint security task forces including the SSS, the police, the army, the navy, and have identified the way they will operate.

“To tell you that we are concerned that is why we have to set up this joint task force for the one-chance and the border control.

“Again, you see a lot of illegal motor parks. When we come up with a policy that we can’t allow these illegal motor parks, people will come up to say the economy is hard, things are tough but nobody wants to look at it from the security implication. We are also planning to shut down some of these illegal motor parks.”
