The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command says it has arrested 10 suspected traffic robbers accused of dispossessing motorists and passengers on congested roads in Abuja. Police also report arresting 20 motorists for driving against traffic, a practice commonly referred to as “one-way.”
FCT Commissioner of Police Ahmed Mohammed Sanusi provides the update, linking the crackdown to complaints from residents and describing the arrests as part of recent operations in the capital. One outlet additionally notes other related police actions during the same period, including rescuing three kidnapped victims and arresting two additional suspects, as well as recovering items including motorcycles and knives tied to alleged robberies.
Across the reports, the shared focus is the police announcement of the two sets of arrests—traffic robbers and “one-way” offenders—along with the broader claim that the operations target street crime and traffic violations in Abuja. The outlets largely differ in the amount of detail on other concurrent incidents and recovered items, but both describe the same core figures.
