ABUJA MALL BLAST: FCT MINISTER BANS USE OF “POWER BIKES”
With the disclosure by security agents that one of the perpetrators of
Wednesday’s bomb blast in Abuja rode on a power bike, Federal Capital
Territory Minister, Senator Bala Mohammed,
has directed the FCT Police Commissioner to promptly arrest and
prosecute any person illegally using power bikes and motorcycles in the
Federal Capital City, Abuja.
Motorcycles had for a long time
been banned in the city, but users of power bike and private motorcycle
owners were never affected by the earlier ban. This new directive, which
was conveyed to the FCT Police Commissioner via a letter dated June 27,
2014 but signed by the FCT Permanent Secretary, Engr. John Chukwu,
reminded him that the ban on the use of power bikes and motorcycles in
the FCC was still in force.
He stated that the reminder was
underscored by the fact that one of the suspects in the recent bombing
at the EMAB Plaza, Wuse II District, Abuja was seen on a power bike by
security agents. Senator Mohammed further directed that all security
personnel using motorcycles should obtain permits from the FCT
Commissioner of Police and the FCT transportation secretariat. He said,
in addition, the officer should be properly kitted in their uniform and
helmet.
The letter revealed the intention of the FCT
administration to, as a matter of urgency evolve necessary byelaws and
security protocols that will indicate minimal security requirements in
private and public institutions as well as other congregational
locations in the Federal Capital Territory for compliance and
enforcement.
The administration will also embark on “Know Your
Neigbour Campaign” as a veritable strategy to promote neighbourhood
security awareness among residents
