The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has listed three most security challenged councils in FCT.
FCTA said Bwari, Kuje and Abaji area councils are worst hit by kidnapping.
There are six Area Councils in FCT. The three other councils are Gwagwalada, AMAC and Kwali.
Director of Administration and Finance, FCTA Security Services Department, Ebele Molokwu, made this known during the end of the year media briefing on the activities of the department.
She said major kidnapping incidents in the territory were usually from those councils even though there are some isolated cases in the others area councils.
She said the councils share boarder with some states noted for kidnapping, adding that when the bandits came to strike they will run back to those states.
She however said that the Administration was determined to check both kidnapping and one chance syndicates in the territory.
Consequently the Director of the Department, Adamu Gwary, said the security committee had been divided into two, the kinetic, which made up of core security agencies and the non-kinectic which involves the traditional rulers and other relevant stakeholders.
He said in the restructured security committee, the FCTA now involves traditional rulers in non-kinetic approach, where the district heads meet regularly with the village heads and convey the decision reached at the meeting with the graded chiefs through the Ona of Abaji.
