While charging residents not to allow external forces to divide
them but to strive and live together in peace.

fact-finding mission to Apo Mechanic village as well as Dutse
Alhaji in Bwari Area Council, in Abuja
It would be recalled that the #EndSARS protesters were attacked
by hoodlums on Tuesday and Wednesday this week when they took their
protests to these parts of the nations capital.
The attackers maimed, killed and set ablaze car marts that
resulted to the burning of several cars and properties but took the
prompt action of security agencies to stop the mayhem the following
day.
Bello, however, explained that the FCT administration has
already held a security meeting with stakeholders drawn from across
board to ascertain the level of damages before setting up a
committee will ensure full payments of compensations to victims
across board.
Also speaking at the event, the Minister of State, FCT Dr.
Ramatu Tiijani Aliyu urge residents of Apo to eschew further
violence and give peace a chance.
According to her, ‘’We are here on solidarity visit to express
our deep heart felt for all that happened following the
destructions that took place here on Tuesday and Wednesday this
week, we share your grief, but we are begging you to let us come
together again as one, all of us are here in the FCT to look for
what to eat not what will divide us, by the grace of God, the
administration has already put in place efforts to compensate those
that lost one thing or the others’’.
“As a mother, I have come to beg you to let us remain one, we
must help government by maintaining peace so that we can all
benefit from the dividends of democracy, we must be united as one
cause Abuja has brought us together as one”
Responding, the Chairman, Apo Traders Association, Mr. John
Chimeze Ife, said over N200 million worth of vehicles and
properties were lust to the hoodlums.
He said, “I must painfully say that we have lust not less than
N200 million worth of cars and properties to the hoodlums who came
from nowhere to attack us, we never belong to the ENdSARS
protesters, we have been here for very long time, we are peacefull
people and we will reamian so.”
“We are using this opportunity to plead to FCT administration to
give us a better place to build our mechanic village so that we can
also fence it appropriately to avoid disasters like this.”
