The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, in partnership with multiple security agencies, has relaunched the joint security operation known as Operation Sweep FCT.
The operation forms part of renewed efforts to enhance safety and deter criminal activities across the Territory.
The command spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, in a statement sent to Persecondnews on Tuesday, November 25, said the operation was formally relaunched on Tuesday, following strong backing and strategic directives from the FCT Minister, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.
Adeh said the Minister’s continued commitment to improving security in the nation’s capital has strengthened inter-agency cooperation and boosted operational efficiency.
Before deployment, heads of security agencies addressed operatives at Eagle Square, where they emphasised the renewed mandate for intelligence-driven, proactive, and highly visible security operations across the FCT.
The statement reads: “Operation Sweep FCT is designed to deter crime, reinforce visibility policing, and provide swift, coordinated responses to emerging threats.
“The joint operation includes personnel from the Nigeria Police Force (FCT Command), the Nigerian Army, the Nigerian Air Force, the Nigerian Navy, and the Department of State Services (DSS).
“Also included are the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), the Federal Fire Service, and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
“Equally on the list are the Directorate of Road Traffic Services (VIO), Development Control, and Environmental Enforcement and Monitoring Teams, amongst other supporting agencies.
“To achieve effective coverage, the FCT has been mapped into strategic sectors, allowing for rapid deployment, enhanced patrols, and a strong multi-agency security presence across districts and communities.
“The FCT Police Command reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding lives and property, urging residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities via the emergency lines: 08032003913 and 08061581938.”
