He appealed to security authorities to as a matter of urgency step up security measures especially around areas that are prone to attacks by bandits.
While commending the state government under the leadership of the state Governor, Sen Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir for the efforts at protecting lives and properties of residents of the state, he said that more could be done to salvage the security situation.
Dimeus also called on communities to be security conscious and volunteer information about bad eggs in the society for peace to continue to reign in the state.
