Abuja move to enforce ban on grazing, street hawking, begging

Mallam Muhammad Bello, Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister,  on Monday said laws prohibiting cattle grazing, begging, street hawking and commercial motorcycle in the city needs to be enforced by security operatives.

Mallam Bello stated this on Monday in Abuja after an emergency FCT Security Committee meeting as he stated that the security agencies have to carry out their functions in line with the government’s ‘change agenda’.

He commended the security agencies for “the high-level intelligence sharing that has so far assisted the administration to nip in the bud any security breach in the territory.”

The FCT Security committee condemned the attack on the Vocational and Rehabilitation Centre, Bwari aimed at freeing some of the inmates at the centre.

It also advised owners of uncompleted building to ensure security around them to avoid miscreants from using them as hideouts.
