Leader of Utako Community, Abuja, Alhaji Abdullahi Isha, has cried out to the police over the invasion of sex hawkers into his community. He lamented that the presence of the prostitutes had also attracted men of shady characters to the community.
Isah, who said this during the Federal Capital Territory Eminent Persons Forum organized by the police on Tuesday in Abuja, called on the FCT Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Mustafa, to come to the rescue of his community, Punch reports.
The chief expressed displeasure over the activities of the sex hawkers and pleaded with the police authorities to deploy personnel to the community to arrest the development and restore sanity to the area.
He said:
“I want to call the attention of the Commissioner of Police to the activities of prostitutes who have taken over my community. Their population in the community has increased in recent times and they are also attracting criminal elements. We want the police to come and address the situation before things get out of hand.”
A participant at the forum, who is a retired commissioner of police, Lawrence Alobi, called on the FCT residents to support the police financially, noting that the Force was not getting enough funding for its operations.
