Abuja Residents Can Breathe a Sigh of Relief as New FCT CP Takes Charge
Ahmed Sanusi, the newly appointed Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory Command, has vowed to rid Abuja of crime during his tenure. Sanusi made this pledge during his maiden press briefing after formally assuming duty as the new FCT Commissioner of Police. He stated that his command would adopt a proactive and intelligence-driven approach to policing, focusing on preventing crime before it occurs.
The CP emphasized that crime would not thrive under his leadership, citing his professional approach as a major factor. "Abuja residents can expect a significant reduction in crime rates as the command works tirelessly to identify, pursue, and bring to justice criminal elements," a source close to the CP said.
Sanusi also warned criminals to leave the territory or face the full weight of the law. He cautioned officers and men of the command against indiscipline and unprofessional conduct, stressing that personnel must maintain civility and uphold the highest standards while interacting with members of the public.
The new commissioner expressed appreciation to the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Disu, for the appointment and pledged to build on the achievements of his predecessor while strengthening the security architecture of the Federal Capital Territory.
💡 NaijaBuzz TakeThe appointment of Ahmed Sanusi as the new FCT CP is a welcome development, especially given his commitment to proactive and intelligence-driven policing. However, Nigerians are watching to see if Sanusi will follow through on his promises. The CP's warning to criminals is a clear indication that he will not tolerate any form of lawlessness in Abuja. As the CP works to strengthen security in the FCT, residents are expected to support the police with timely information, making security a collective responsibility. The success of Sanusi's tenure will be measured by the reduction in crime rates and the improvement in the overall safety of Abuja residents.
