The Task team of the Command and Control Centre of the FCT Administration has raided and dislodged unapproved parking zones believed to be harbouring one-chance syndicates and beggars in the city.
The secretary, Command and Control Centre, FCTA, Peter Olumuji, told journalists on Wednesday that following receipt of credible intelligence from relevant security and paramilitary agencies, the Team had to dislodge the suspected one-chance syndicates, who most times use unpainted taxies parked in locations that are not earmarked for parking of vehicles in the city.
