FCTA impounds 280 vehicles in major anti-crime crackdown.

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has impounded over 280 vehicles in Abuja as part of a crackdown on crime and illegal transport operations. 

The operation, dubbed "Operation Sweep Abuja Clean," targets black spots across the city, seizing unregistered vehicles and arresting beggars and scavengers. 

The Director of FCT Security, Adamu Gwary, stated that the joint operations have significantly disrupted criminal activities, noting that over 40 vehicles were impounded for traffic offenses, more than 200 commercial motorcycles for aiding criminals, and over 40 tricycles operating illegally.

He further revealed that beggars and destitute persons are being processed for vocational training or repatriation, emphasizing that the aim of the operation is to restore order and prevent lawlessness in Abuja, making the city inhospitable for criminals.

The operation follows strict directives from FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to restore order and prevent lawlessness in the capital city, and authorities have assured that suspicious vehicles are being scrutinized, while investigations are ongoing into recent cases.
