Increased crime in Abuja

by Agency Reporter

The heightened increase of armed robbery in Bwari and Kubwa areas in Abuja is becoming frightening. The criminals break into the homes of law abiding citizens who have worked for their earnings and cart away their valuables.

They are gutsy enough to introduce themselves as ‘armed robbers” It is not only their boldness that alarms one but the fact that they are never caught by the police. Statements are taken and pictures you pay for are taken from the crime scene but no justice for the trauma or loss obtained.

Imagine being robbed in your home which is located opposite a police station! People now sleep with one eye open due to the fear of being robbed; the worst is the fact that when alarm is raised in a compound, neighbours suddenly go deaf as they curl up in fear in their abode.

crI implore our security operatives especially the police to put a stop to the rise in crime in the aforementioned areas so as to restore the confidence of the populace in them.
