The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Musa Daura, made the announcement on Tuesday in

The command’s Spokesman, Mr. Olumuyiwa Adejobi, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that Daura urged his men to be proactive and see the fight against terrorism as a collective responsibility.

He advised the public to remain calm and collaborate with the police in the fight against criminal activities.

Daura announced that visitors to major vulnerable points or places in the state, particularly at the command headquarters, state CID and State Intelligence Bureau (SIB) would be subjected to screening.

He also said that armed men would be deployed to different exit points in the state, while motorists would be subjected to stop-and-search exercise to check the influx of miscreants.
