The commissioner stated that normalcy had returned to the region, and that the police will investigate the situation.

The police boss asked communities to continue to increase coordination with security authorities in order to ensure long-term security improvements in the state.
Mr Nadada pointed out that the preservation of life and property was a joint responsibility, thus all communities must unite with the command to address security concerns.
“We have already developed an action plan that revolves around collaborative policing after a careful study of the trend of the crime pattern in the state,” he said.
The commissioner stated that the command had made tremendous headway in its fight against insecurity in the state.

“The state is adjudged to be one of the most peaceful in the country because of the collaborative strategy with the communities, and the support from the state government,” he said.
