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.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
