Against the misinformation of one Abubakar Farouk, published in one of the national dailies today the 15 of August 2023, where the latter alleged that crisis is emanating from the highhandedness of the Abuja investmentment company limited over disobedience to court order reinstating Farouk .
Therefore President Asiwaju Tinubu and Inspector General of Police should intervene, the concerned market men and women in FCT have strongly called on President Tinubu, and the Police IG to ignore the false alarm raised by Farouk.
Mrs Ogechi Okwudili spokesperson of the market professionals, emphasised that Farouk’s desperacy is the reason for him raising false alarm and called on the Police and DSS to carry out a secret intel to ascertain the claim of Abubakar Farouk.
The board of AMML who are shareholders of the company had after Farouk’s presentation of a court order in a meeting passed vote of no confidence on him.
Farouk was to later invade the AMML premises with plain clothe outpost Police personnel from Durumi outpost before the acting AMML MD made distress call to the Command headquarters before a contingent of Uniformed officers swung into action and invited both parties to Division headquarters of Durumi where the dpo with strict instructions of truce from both DCP Bello and DCP Hawa settled the matter with an agreement that status quo should be maintained to make peace reign.
The FCTA security services department acting under the authority of the Permanent Secretary who is the acting Minister ordered the FCT Police to seal the office. So far, most of the markets have been concessioned to private managers, so how many markets is Farouk referring to Nkechi asked?
” If there is anyone that has been breaching the peace in Abuja markets then it is Abubakar Farouk who has been boasting with his late father’s image, a former police officer and military governor of Northwest. The Inspector General of Police, DSS DG and other relevant security agencies should urgently invite Abubakar Farouk, after carrying out security check on markets, because his statements are capable of inciting and igniting violence. The Wuse market traders had earlier suspended Farouk,that can be confirmed. Even if one has a court order,there are processes which has to do with appeal.
