FCT Police Arrest Four Minors for Stealing Iron Rods from Construction Site
The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has arrested four minors for allegedly stealing iron rods from an uncompleted building in the Guzape area of Abuja.
The suspects, identified as Matthew Vincent (15), Timothy Shedrack (15), Moses Vincent (11), and Lucky Enock, were apprehended after a complaint was lodged at the Guzape Police Station.Residents had reported suspicious nightly activities at the site, including loud noises and swift movements as the minors dismantled parts of the structure.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the minors scaled the fence to gain access and used crude tools to remove the rods, later selling them to a local scrap dealer identified as “Babanbola.” Efforts are underway to locate the dealer, believed to be part of a larger network involved in the theft and resale of construction materials.
FCT Commissioner of Police Olatunji Rilwan Disu has called on parents to monitor their children’s activities closely to curb juvenile delinquency.
He also urged construction site owners to enhance security measures, such as deploying guards and installing surveillance systems. Scrap dealers were advised to verify the origins of materials before purchase and report suspected stolen goods.
The minors will be moved to juvenile homes for rehabilitation, while those found culpable will face legal consequences. The police assured residents of their commitment to maintaining law and order across the FCT.

Isaac Fayose Criticizes Government Over Taxation and Insecurity
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
