Ireporteronline reports that Ezekiel made the call during a press briefing in Abuja on Monday, lamenting the increased incidents of kidnappings, armed robberies, and violent attacks, which have heightened anxiety and fear among residents of Abuja communities.

Speaking on behalf of the residents, Ezekiel urged the Federal Government to prioritize the security situation in the area.

He further appealed to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, to consider suspending any ongoing projects, if necessary, in order to tackle this crucial issue that directly impacts the lives of FCT residents.

Additionally, he advocated for the establishment of a civilian joint task force as an alternative approach to combat insecurity in rural areas.
