The FCT Minister, Muhammad Bello, has condemned the mob attack on citizen Ahmad Usman which culminated in his death on June 4.

Mr Bello, in a statement on Sunday in Abuja by his spokesperson, Anthony Ogunleye, reiterated that no one had the right to take the laws into their hands, no matter the circumstances or perceived level of provocation.

He said the FCT Administration would not tolerate any form of mob attacks on any residents of the territory or the breakdown of law and order.
