The commandant explained that the flashpoints and difficult terrains that served as criminal hideouts had been marked and adequate surveillance mounted to stop any untoward act.

According to him, all the entrance and exit points in the state are under close watch, with a view to monitoring the movement and activities of the people.

” Full deployment of officers and men of the command had been made and all the personnel on annual leave have been recalled to ensure that all hands are on deck,” he said.

The command reminded the people to be security-conscious and not to be carried away by the joy of the season.

He noted that criminals always target unguided moments to unleash mayhem to unsuspecting members of the public.
