“Some local government areas in the state have witnessed so much insecurity that It has inflicted psychological trauma on the residents and affected their economic activities.

“I, therefore,  call on officers and men in this state to remain resolute in the face of these challenges,” he said.

Kaigama added that the police could not do it alone but must collaborate with the military, sister agencies and all critical stakeholders.

“This is including our dear brothers from the vigilante groups across the state for a better and successful result of reclaiming and dominating the public space.
