In a bold move to combat crime in the Lokoja metropolis, the Transition Committee Chairman of the Lokoja Local Government Area, Abdullahi Adamu, has taken decisive action. An unassuming building in the Old Market suburb was identified as a potential hideout for criminals and swiftly demolished by the local government vigilante group.

The council boss, Abdullahi Adamu, emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety of residents by eliminating potential threats. The discovery of a large sack filled with Cannabis sativa, commonly known as Indian hemp, within the premises further solidified the suspicions of illicit activities taking place within the building. Adamu made it clear that Lokoja will not tolerate criminal elements within its borders and vowed to root out any wrongdoers.

At the scene of the demolition, the Hakimi of Ward ‘D’ in Lokoja, Alhaji Isa Baba Nasidi, urged all citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior in their neighborhoods. The swift action taken to demolish the building serves as a warning to those contemplating criminal activities in the area.

This proactive approach to maintaining law and order in the Lokoja metropolis sends a strong message to potential wrongdoers that their actions will not be tolerated. By working together as a community and staying alert, residents can help ensure a safer environment for all. Let this be a reminder that the residents of Lokoja are united in their commitment to keeping their city free from crime.
