The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, in partnership with multiple security agencies, has reactivated the joint security operation known as Operation Sweep FCT as part of renewed efforts to enhance safety and deter criminal activities across the Territory.
According to a press release signed by the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, the operation was formally relaunched on Tuesday, 25 November 2025, following strong backing and strategic directives from the FCT Minister, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, CON. The Minister’s continued commitment to improving security in the nation’s capital has strengthened inter-agency cooperation and boosted operational efficiency.
Before deployment, heads of security agencies addressed operatives at Eagle Square, where they emphasised the renewed mandate for intelligence-driven, proactive, and highly visible security operations across the FCT.
Operation Sweep FCT is designed to deter crime, reinforce visibility policing, and provide swift, coordinated responses to emerging threats. The joint operation includes personnel from the Nigeria Police Force (FCT Command), the Nigerian Army, the Nigerian Air Force, the Nigerian Navy, the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), the Federal Fire Service, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), the Directorate of Road Traffic Services (VIO), Development Control, and Environmental Enforcement and Monitoring Teams, among other supporting agencies.
To achieve effective coverage, the FCT has been mapped into strategic sectors, allowing for rapid deployment, enhanced patrols, and a strong multi-agency security presence across districts and communities.
The FCT Police Command reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding lives and property, urging residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities via the emergency lines: 08032003913 and 08061581938.
