The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Special
Task Team on City Cleaning and Management
has said it has impounded about 4,790
commercial motorcycles and 883
tricyclesalso known as keke napeps in the
last 90 days.













Also impounded by the task team were 645
unpainted commercial vehicles, as well as 84
illegal commercial buses during the period
under review.










The FCT Permanent Secretary, Mr. John
Chukwu disclosed this during after meeting
with the chairman of the Task Team and the
FCT Police Commissioner, Mr. Wilson
Inalegwu in Abuja. The release was made
available by the Assistant Director/Chief
Press Secretary to the Minister, Muhammad
Sule.











According to him, 3,000 commercial sex
workers had also been arrested by the Task
Team and handed over to the Abuja
Environment Protection Board for
prosecution and subsequent rehabilitation.













Chukwu noted that the Task Team also
embarked on city cleaning activities, which
culminated in the closure and removal of 52
illegal car wash sites and 83 illegal auto
mechanic workshops.













“In addition, eight illegal sand dredging and
quarry sites, 205 shanties, 89 illegal markets,
seven illegal car marts and 98 food vendor
kiosks and furniture workshops all located
in unauthorised places within the city have
been closed down.











“Similarly, a total of 2,534 street hawkers
and beggars had been arrested by the FCT
Administration and 102 strayed animals
were removed from illegal cattle markets in
Gudu and other parts of the city during the
same period,” he said.








Chukwu therefore directed the Task Team to
redouble its efforts to rid the FCC of all
environmental nuisances, stressing that it is
not business as usual.











He further directed all operational
departments in the FCTA to be committed to
ensure that their statutory responsibilities
are carried out, insisting that they must be
proactive in city management in line with
the vision of a new Nigeria.










He called on the residents of the FCC to be
law-abiding and remain their brothers’
keepers, urging the residents to report any
suspicious movements to the law
enforcement agents.
