The Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command, CP Miller G. Dantawaye, receives a delegation of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) at the Command Headquarters in Abuja as investigations continue into the killing of a female lawyer, Princess Ochigbo. The visit underscores growing concerns within the legal community over security and safety in the nation’s capital.
According to Mediaplusng.com, the delegation includes representatives of the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA), the NBA Women Forum, and the Unity Bar. The group pays an advocacy visit to formally express concern over the death of their colleague, whose body is earlier found along the Kubwa Expressway in Abuja.
During the meeting, the Commissioner of Police commiserates with the NBA delegation and the family of the deceased. He assures the visiting lawyers that the FCT Police Command launches an extensive and discreet investigation into the incident. CP Dantawaye states that all necessary steps are underway to identify those responsible and ensure they face the full weight of the law.
Mediaplusng.com reports that the police boss emphasizes the Command’s commitment to justice and accountability. He tells the delegation that the case receives top priority, adding that investigators are following credible leads and working with relevant intelligence units to unravel the circumstances surrounding the killing.
Beyond the investigation, the Commissioner uses the meeting to address broader public safety concerns in the FCT. He urges residents to remain alert and security-conscious, especially when using public transportation. CP Dantawaye advises members of the public to be cautious when boarding commercial vehicles and warns against accepting free rides from strangers.
The police chief places particular emphasis on the threat posed by so-called “one-chance” criminal operations, which target unsuspecting commuters. He calls for collective responsibility, noting that timely information sharing between residents and security agencies plays a critical role in preventing crime and dismantling criminal networks across the Territory.
CP Dantawaye also reassures the NBA and civil society groups that the FCT Police Command values collaboration with professional bodies. He says such engagements help strengthen trust, improve intelligence gathering, and promote community policing efforts aimed at making Abuja safer for all residents.
Members of the NBA delegation commend the police for receiving them and for the assurances given. They stress the importance of justice for their late colleague and call for sustained efforts to protect legal practitioners and the wider public from violent crimes.
The FCT Police Command encourages residents to report suspicious persons or activities promptly. Members of the public are advised to use the Command’s emergency lines—08032003913 and 07057337653—to provide useful information that can aid crime prevention and ongoing investigations.
As investigations continue, the police reiterate their resolve to bring closure to the case and reassure residents that security remains a top priority in the Federal Capital Territory.
