The security situation in the area has worsened in the last months with kidnappers and bandits running rampage in some parts of the FCT.
But worried over the development, Wike on Tuesday summoned a meeting of security agencies and other stakeholders in the FCT.
Some of those who were in attendance included heads of security agencies in the FCT, top officials of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), council chairmen, and traditional rulers.
During the meeting, Wike cautioned the council chairmen to live up to their responsibility but assured residents of the area of improved security.
Wike maintained that there is a need for the re-strategising of the security apparatus in the FCT to tackle the insecurity in the nation’s seat of power.
In the past few weeks, bandits have ravaged some parts of the FCT, abducting residents from their homes, the incidents which have created tension became heightened when some residents, including a 13-year-old secondary school student, were killed over failure to meet the deadline for a ransom payment.
