Stop keeping cash in offices, shops – FCT Police boss warns business owners

The new Commissioner of Police, FCT Police Command, CP Muhammed Mustafa on Wednesday assumed duty at the command’s headquarters.
While soliciting the support and cooperation of members of the public, the Commissioner assured FCT residents of his willingness to partner with spirited stakeholders to make the Federal Capital Territory safe and secure for all.

He also enjoined business owners to guard against keeping cash overnight in their shops and homes; rather they should always endeavour to move cash realised from their daily sales to banks before the close of banking transactions for each day so as not to fall victims to hoodlums.
