The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in Bwari, FCT, has expressed concern over the escalating levels of insecurity in the area council and its surrounding areas.
Chairman of the Bwari branch of the NBA (Cradle Bar), Paul Daudu, who made the disclosure yesterday in Abuja, said the association is deeply concerned about the escalating levels of insecurity in Bwari and its surrounding areas.
According to him, it is disheartening to witness the erosion of peace in the area and the constant threat faced by its residents on a daily basis.
He said: “We can no longer sleep with closed eyes even with the council being home to some critical national assets like JAMB, Nigerian Law School Headquarters, Veritas University amongst others. We call upon the relevant law enforcement agencies, particularly the Nigerian Police Force, to take immediate and decisive actions to restore law and order in the area”.
Daudu further said the association remains committed to working together with relevant stakeholders, including the government, traditional leaders, community organisations, and security agencies, to ensure the restoration of peace and security in Bwari.
He urged the security agencies to also implement sustainable strategies to combat this menace, saying, “Collaborative efforts between the community, the police, and other security agencies are vital in effectively addressing these challenges”.
