The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, has ordered security agencies to fish out and prosecute all those involved in the mob killing of a vigilance member in Lugbe, Abuja.
Bello, according to a statement from his office on Sunday, condemned in the strongest possible terms the mob attack on Citizen Ahmad Usman which culminated in his death on Saturday 4th of June, 2022.
The Minister reiterated that no one had the right to take the laws into their hands, no matter the circumstances or perceived level of provocation.
The FCT Administration he said, will not tolerate any form of mob attacks on any residents of the Territory or the break down of law and order.
The Federal Capital Territory, the Minister reminded residents, was founded on the premises of national unity, peace and love for country and fellow countrymen. The action of the mob at Lugbe clearly negates all of these principles and will not be tolerated.
The FCT Minister assures residents of their safety at all times and urged them to go about their lawful affairs without fear of molestation.
He also called for their cooperation in securing their communities by reporting to the security agencies whenever suspicious persons or actions are identified.
