<h2>In light of the escalating insecurity, abductions, and relentless assaults on the inhabitants of Abuja by bandits, the Commissioner for Public Complaints in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Dalhatu Ezekiel, has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's led government to declare a state of emergency in the nation's capital city.</h2>
