For Ramatu, the directive became imperative in view of pockets of reported kidnapping cases and the forthcoming Sallah.
She stressed that there was a need to re-strategise and strengthen areas of need within the FCT.
Her words:
“In view of recent reports from area councils like Gwagwalada, Kwali and Bwari, there is every reason for us to come back, re-strategise and ask what is happening, where we are failing and where we need to strengthen.
"We need to do an analysis of where our strength lies and where we need to fortify."
She noted that despite all these, there are still reports of people invading communities and the people's peace, especially in the satellite towns where the terrains are difficult.
