The Senate has urged the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to investigate the implementation of a $500 million contract for the installation of CCTV cameras in the territory. This resolution was adopted in response to a motion sponsored by Senator Ned Nwoko (PDP-Delta) during plenary. The motion addressed the Galadimawa kidnapping incident in the FCT, where 19 individuals, including Senator Nwoko’s senior legislative aide, were abducted. Tragically, 12 of them were reported killed, while seven remained in the kidnappers’ custody. Senator Nwoko emphasized the challenges in negotiating with the kidnappers, as their lines remained inactive. In addition to calling for a joint operation to intensify search efforts for the kidnapped victims, the Senate urged the FCT Minister to revisit the $500 million CCTV contract and ensure accountability.
