AMAC Launches Emergency Helpline for Abuse Victims
The Municipal Area Council (AMAC) has initiated a dedicated emergency helpline to assist victims of violence and abuse in the Federal Capital Territory. Loveth Izekor, the special adviser on women's affairs to AMAC chairman Christopher Maikalangu, announced this at a press conference on July 26, 2026.
The helpline will serve as a confidential channel for residents to report abuse, request urgent intervention, and receive referrals to relevant support agencies. The initiative involves collaboration with various government and civil society organizations, including the Force gender desk, the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA), the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
Izekor emphasized the importance of community involvement, urging traditional rulers and religious leaders to help identify abuse and encourage victims to come forward. The council is committed to promoting women's rights and safety across AMAC's 12 wards.
