Gwagwalada Area Commander Orders Raid on Criminal
Hideouts
Men of the Nigeria Police in Gwagwalada, FCT, have been directed
to carry out raids on suspected criminal hideouts in the area.
The Police Area Commander in charge of Gwagwalada, Dr Sunday
Okoebor disclosed this when he played host to Executive members of
the Association of Resident Landlords, Phase 4, Compensation
Layout, Gwagwalada.
Dr Okoebor who is an Assistant Commissioner of Police said the
order became necessary following reported cases of recent criminal
activities in Gwagwalada.
He said patrol vehicles have been deployed to the field for
rapid response to distress calls by the residents.
Dr Okoebor told the resident landlords that the challenge faced
by the police was lack of specific directions due to the numbering
of streets, but advised the residents who make distress calls to
use land marks such as the church, the mosque and shopping centres
as directions for easy locations when the need arises.
The Assistant Commissioner expressed the hope that with the
cooperation of Gwagwalada community, the police will rid the area
of dangerous elements.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Resident Landlords, Professor
Owojecho Omoha told the Area Commander that robbers now write to
residents in the layouts of their intention to come and rob at
nights.
Professor Omoha commended the police for their timely
intervention following gun shots heard at night at phase 2 of the
layout last Sunday in Gwagwalada.
He said members of the Association of Resident Landlords were in
the police domain to seek ways on how to assist the police in
combating violent crimes in Gwagwalada, and called on the police to
maintain their surveillance of the area with the police patrol
team.
