FCT RESIDENTS DONATE VEHICLE TO POLICE

Due to the rising insecurity, the Kafe District Stakeholders donated a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) to the Nigeria Police for use in the area.

During the handover ceremony in Abuja, Chairman of the Kafe District Stakeholders Forum, Mr. Uche Okeke, said the need to improve the security situation in the area informed the initiative.

“It is no news that security has become a hot topic in recent times in Nigeria. The need to ramp up security measures in communities has led to the concerted efforts of community-minded people to mobilise time and resources to ensure the safety of its environments.”

“Kafe District in particular was unfortunate to have witnessed a few security incidents in the recent past, including kidnap attempts. It became necessary to augment the efforts of the police, particularly in the area of patrol and surveillance”, he said.

The chairman said “the Lifecamp police division, headed by the area commander, Gomwalk and our indomitable DPO, CSP Davies, have been exceptional in their dedication towards securing the lives and property of Kafe residents.

“However, as friends we know full well that the Lifecamp police division is logistically handicapped in providing adequate and effective security to the community. It was observed that response to emergencies was being delayed by the absence of efficient vehicles to patrol and respond to emergencies and distress calls”.

He noted that “in the circumstance, Kafe district stakeholders forum called for contributions from well meaning, security conscious residents and business owners and within a short time, the required amount was raised and thereafter this Toyota Highlander was purchased and is now ready to be handed over to the Lifecamp police division by the stakeholders forum.”

He also called for deployment of more police personnel to the area in order to ensure adquate security.
