Again, Federal Capital Territory Administration FCTA has ordered residents to install Closed Circuit Televisions CCTVs in public places for complement its efforts at tracking criminals in the territory.
The directive came in the wake of recent terror alert issued by some embassies in the territory, warning of a possible strike on the nation’s capital.
Also, Nasarawa state Governor, Abdullahi Sule has weighed on on developments in the territory, saying nobody can scare Nigerians from going to Abuja.
Speaking Monday in Abuja, during the foundation laying ceremony of the 200-room capacity Cooperative House of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps NSCDC, Governor Sule charged the security agencies not to be cowed.
He said Nasarawa state is one of the most secure states in the country because the security agencies had been doing their job.
Sule said; “We can not allow anybody to scare us around the world that our country is not safe. Nigeria is safe, Nigeria will continue to be safe.
“Do not allow criminals to cow us. When the US announced the security alert, Uk followed, Australia followed and people are scared of coming to Abuja.
“In Nasarawa state, we had our first security meeting to address the issues because we can not take issues of security lightly and I encourage you, we can’t also be cowed by anybody.
“Nigeria belongs to us, Nigeria is our only country. We must get up as members of the NSCDC and all the other security agencies in the country and defend our nation and not allow any criminal to overtake us.
“Nobody can scare us from coming to Abuja but as you go out there to do your work [do it] as members of the NSCDC…and also as people of Nigeria and that you are doing it for your own children and grandchildren.
“So you should do your best to defend this country and do not allow criminals to cow us into where we are. That is not how it suppose to be and we can not continue to do that.”
