The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has begun an investigation into an altercation between a Vehicle Inspection Office official and motorcyclists in Abuja's Life Camp area, according to the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Josephine Adeh. The incident took place around 7 pm on Thursday during enforcement of the ban on commercial motorcyclists operating on major roads within the Federal Capital Territory.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the confrontation began when a VIO official attached to a task force, set up by the FCT Administration to implement the ban, had an altercation with a motorcyclist. The Command's Commissioner, Ahmed Sanusi, has ordered a thorough investigation into the incident. Normalcy has been restored in the area, and residents are urged to remain calm and report any suspicious activities to the police.
