Abuja ‘one of world’s safest capital cities’
Nigeria’s police chief has said that the Nigerian capital, Abuja, is one of the safest cities in the world.
Mohammed Adamu issued the statement in response to allegations about rising cases of kidnappings and robberies in the city.
He admitted that the country had its “security challenges”, but added:
Quote Message: A comprehensive analysis of crime statistics on major cities across the world would reveal that Abuja has one of the lowest crime rates and remains indisputably one of the safest capital cities in the world.”
According to Nigeria’s Punch newspaper, about five people, including a lecturer, were reportedly kidnapped in the city on Saturday.
Kidnapping for ransom has become widespread nationwide and is one of the biggest challenges facing the country’s security forces.
