THE WHISTLER had also reached out to the Wuse Division where information revealed that the incident has been reported to the Police.

Speaking to THE WHISTLER via a text message, the Divisional Police Officer of Wuse Police Division, CSP Adamu Muazu said, “Yes, the Command is very much aware of the incident because the hint of the robbery taking place came from the Command Control itself.

“That suggest that the Newspaper firm and the Hotel have never known the GSM Line of the Division.

There has been a growing concern of insecurity in the FCT as issues of burglary, car theft, one-chance and kidnapping to mention but a few are gradually taking a toll on residents.
