From Jonas Ike, Abuja
Barely two weeks to the celebration of Christmas by christian believers all over the world, criminals and other bad elements in the nation’s capital territory Abuja are now having a field day. They are out to make the nations major roads unsafe.
The major roads and even the highways are now hot spots for criminals and they are not idling, rather they ambush motorist and motorcyclists and cart away their properties and other personal effects around the major roads in Abuja
Only last week a case of vandalisation of a Toyota car by these hoodlums was reported to have happened at the Central Mosque area in the nation’s capital. It was said that the bandits normally hang around the flyover between 7.00pm -10pm on daily basis waiting for their target. Other cases have also been reported in these areas.
Motorists are currently avoiding like these areas like leprosy as they prefer do a u-turn by other routes that links the area including the Wuse Market and the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN junction that link them to the Central Business District in which the Federal Secretariat is situated.
Most of these road users are therefore worried that they would be having a break Christmas and New Year celebrations owing to the wave of criminal activities this festive period.
Efforts to get reactions from the Force Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police Age.DCP Jimoh Moshood to get his reactions on this development was unsuccessful as his phone rang repeatedly without response.
