However, he warned residents to desist from spreading fake information that could cause unrest in the communities and distract the security agencies.

” The security agencies are on standby to curb and avert any attack on churches, mosques, and communities, but they cannot be everywhere, that is why any information given to them must be genuine.

“For people that wish to go to Church and Mosque to pray, the community is safe for them, but I want to urge them not to panic but be security conscious.

“As a major stakeholder, I will ensure that my administration provides adequate security for lives and properties and make my people enjoy the dividends of democracy,” he said.
