This move comes amid a series of assaults on Bwari residents, leading to multiple abductions and tragic loss of life.

SIS Operations to Cover Entire FCT

As the SIS gears up for special operations, the coverage extends across all the Area councils in the FCT.

The initiative aims to combat the activities of kidnappers causing chaos and distress within various regions of the Federal Capital Territory.

Recent Kidnappings Prompt Nighttime Vigilance

Bwari residents have faced a string of assaults by kidnappers, resulting in the abduction of numerous community members.

Tragically, these incidents have led to loss of life, with families experiencing delays in ransom payments.

The show of force exercise by the SIS serves as a proactive measure to address the prevailing security concerns and reinforce the safety of residents in the FCT.
