The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has launched an intelligence-led operational strategy aimed at tackling criminal elements and ensuring the continued safety of residents on Monday, July 7, 2025.
Given recent security concerns within the FCT, particularly over the past weekend, the Command will intensify stop-and-search operations at key flashpoints, targeting individuals involved in “one-chance” robberies, vandalism, and the activities of scavengers who pose a growing security threat.
According to the Command’s Spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, the operation will also clamp down on unauthorized persons using diplomatic plate numbers to commit crimes and evade law enforcement.
She said, members of the public are strongly advised to avoid driving vehicles with covered number plates, vehicles without number plates, or those bearing only one plate. Likewise, individuals using vehicles with tinted glasses must ensure they possess valid tinted permit documents. Vehicles found in violation of these requirements may be subjected to thorough checks, and the drivers may be delayed.
The Command urges all residents to cooperate with officers on duty, remain law-abiding, and exercise patience as these measures are being implemented for the safety of all. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appeal for the public’s understanding and support during this period.
The FCT Police Command remains committed to its constitutional mandate of protecting lives and property and will continue to do everything within its power to ensure the security and well-being of all residents.
