She noted that the Commissioner of Police, Eboka Friday has deployed officers to the affected areas, and also charged Divisional Police Officers to ensure there is peace.
She also called on residents to work with the Police by reporting suspicious movement, as they understand the terrain better.

“The people should work with the police as well. if there is any suspicious movement, they should call on the police, we are willing to assist because they are in the domain and understand the terrain better,” she added.
