The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, issued the directive that the satellite towns in the FCT be completely rid of street smugglers and traders, “one chance” syndicates, scavengers, miscreants, and other social nuisances.

Lere Olayinka, Wike’s spokesman, stated in a statement on Wednesday that the FCT’s “Operation Sweep Abuja of miscreants, street beggars/traders, scavengers, and other criminal elements” had just begun.
The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has ordered the immediate expulsion of miscreants, street beggars and traders,  , scavengers, and other criminal elements from the FCT in accordance with the Abuja Environmental Protection Act and other relevant laws.
The capital of our nation should be a safe haven for pride and beauty, not a haven for street beggars and scavengers, the majority of whom are criminally organized.
A Joint Task Force, made up of security organizations and relevant FCT SDAs, has been established to detach anyone found begging, scavenging, loitering, or engaging in other acts that threaten the residents’ safety, the statement read.
According to the statement, arrangements had been made to profile them and provide them with information to their respective state governments.
