“If they see anything, they should report to the appropriate agency. We should be vigilant. We should not just relax and feel that these people have gone. Be very vigilant in our residence and business places. We should go about our business without fear.”
On his part, the state Commissioner of Police, Abutu Yaro, urged the residents to report any suspicious incident around them to the security agencies to help the anti-combat battle.
