What your Area Council Chairman is Doing to Stop Violence Near You

The Area Council Service Secretariat of the FCTA in collaboration with the FCT Council of Chiefs have hosted a meeting tagged “Continuation of Peace Building Mission” for ways to bring lasting peace and resolve the security challenge in Bwari Area Council, FCT. 

Recall that a curfew has been on in Bwari since the fighting and burning of the local market on December 25, last year. This became worse with the return of violence during the last Eid el Fitr celebration this month.

The Chairman of Bwari Area Council, Mr. Musa Dikko therefore reviewed the existing  10pm to 6am curfew and imposed an 8pm to 6am one. He is confident that this move by his administration would be temporary as the Traditional Rulers are now coming together to resolve their differences and find a lasting solution to the crisis.
