“Finally, it is pertinent to reiterate that security enhancement and war against insecurity are everybody’s responsibility.

“While Government and the security agencies play their parts, it is expected that the citizens also support by way of collaborating with the relevant agencies of Government.

“In this regard, residents of the State are urged to provide useful information about crime, criminal elements and activities in their immediate environment”
