MINISTER of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Senator Bala Mohammed, on Monday, directed all hotels in Abuja to, henceforth, forward the list of their guests to the FCT Directorate of State Security Services (SSS) and the FCT police command on a daily basis.
The hotels were equally required to install security cameras within their vicinity and ensure thorough check of all vehicles entering their premises and within their surroundings.
The minister, according to his special assistant on media, Nosike Ogbuenyi, also directed all residents and associations in various parts of the territory to embark on “operation know your neighbour” campaign, to ensure all criminally-minded elements were detected easily within the FCT.
The security department of FCT Administration, according to the minister, is to liaise with the various security agencies in the FCT on the modalities for implementing the directive.
According to Ogbuenyi, the minister directed all traditional rulers in Abuja to, as a matter of necessity, start conducting periodic meetings with various communities within their domains, to take stock of strange faces living around them, as well as report all new comers within 48 hours to the local divisional police station and SSS office.
Also, according to the minister, all trailers and lorry operators bringing goods to the city would no longer be allowed to offload their contents at night.
“All offloading shall henceforth be done in the day time, under supervision in designated places.
“The directive requires owners of uncompleted and abandoned buildings and structures without security guards to provide same. Failure to do so, the FCT Administration would apply appropriate sanctions.
“Similarly, owners of plots of land left fallow for a long period of time and not used for any purpose but taken over by criminals would now face appropriate sanctions,” he said....TRIBUNE REPORT.
*Good initiative,but will not work,not in Nigeria,otherwise na bad market....wives can as well start paying to view CCTV footage of hotels they suspect their men lodged in.
This measure should not have been
ReplyDeleteannounced. Why not carry out the
directive without letting the world know about it. Sensitive issues of this kind should only be made known to those concerned. And it should not be only in Abuja. Has to be applied in all Hotels within the
country.

So if it isn't announced how will people know about it? Not like I agree with the plan in totality but you have we have to know about these things. I know everyone in my estate but not so well that I know how they earn an income
DeleteWhen a law is passed in nigeria it only provides an avenue for people to chop bribe money. Goodluck to those on d receiving end.
ReplyDeleteClick my name for all your celebration cakes and cupcakes, cheers
Am for anything that will bring this boko haram madness to a stop. I don't feel safe entering places where cars are not searched before allowing them in. Abuja is becoming something else, we must fish them out, I dey come make I go find out who my neighbour is I don dey suspect that dude for a while now.
ReplyDeleteLMAO.... Is dis not Nigeria.... I Comment my Reserve.

ReplyDeleteWahala dey!...but when the bird decides to start flying without perching,then the hunter will shoot without missing!na there u go see fake fake names on the hotel lists.Abuja pple love to code' everything,even if the runs is not illegal.#they just love to code
ReplyDeleteNice measures but this is Nigeria. Would they be with dia Waec cert to back up dia names when checking in - bc ID card is a no go area, to do fake ID is easy. They should go for the virus(BH) itself ...me i have tire for the matter , I would sha do ma best to ensure my personal safety 1st.
DeleteSOUTH EASTERN,THATS A GOOD IDEA,BESIDES HOTELIERS ARE NT KEEN IN ASKING CLIENTS FOR IDENTITY. EVEN IF ITS DRIVING LICENSE....AGAIN,BOMBS CAN BE MANUFACTURED IN HOTEL ROOMS; IS JUST A MATTER OF GATHERING THE COMPONENTS TOGETHER. SOMETIMES,THE BRAIN BEHIND THE MANUFACTURING TAKES A DIFFERENT ROOM FROM THEIR ERRAND BOYS. THERE SHOULD BE PASSAGE CCTV CAMERAS TO CHECKMATE INTERACTION BTWN GUESTS WHO DID NOT COME TOGETHER CUM GUESTS TRUANCY & VISITORS.
ReplyDeleteThey wanna spoil market for runz girls
ReplyDeleteVIRGIN GIRL
I think they should have just announce the know your neighbour
ReplyDeleteAnd do rest codedlly
Abi is he warning his colleagues about the cameras
This is very good. As southeastern said, I Also don't think they should have released all their plans to the public. Especially the hotel one, and that of community checkmating. However, I pray the plan works.
ReplyDeleteThat's very good. Weldone
ReplyDeleteFBI never announces their strategy.
ReplyDeletethese people had better start watching MENTALIST and take some operational clues from Patrick Jane
Gbam nne your head dey there.
DeleteGreetings from Nkay, still enjoying my European waka
Most top hotels abroad request for international passports of their guests before checking them in. Some also insist that payments must be made using cards as cash payment can not be traced. Maybe we should also explore this option.
ReplyDeleteNigerians can never be satisfied. If nothing is done, they'll still complain. Kudos to this initiative. Every security measure starts from your neighborhood... Know thy neighbor.
ReplyDelete$exyD
Good initiative! This goes to show that SEC...RITY is not complete without 'U'.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm…With cheating husbands and cheating wives every where you turn???……Hmmmm...
ReplyDeleteNice initiative but will it work? & why are they making it public? This will only alert the very people they want to catch! Msheww. That info should be between the hotel management & the relevant authorities. We sabi do things upside down in this country
ReplyDeleteI foresee suspicious husbands & wives will bribing to see the lists lolz.
As if the bomber will check into a hotel before bombing it.
