Determined to prevent a repeat of last Sunday’s suicide bomb attack in Kaduna State that left over 15 people killed and several others injured, the Plateau State Commissioner of Police, Emmanuel Dipo Ayeni, yesterday summoned a stakeholders meeting where he told religious leaders and residents of the state to be on “the alert.”
The meeting was held at the police officers’ mess in Jos, the Plateau State capital.
The commissioner of police stressed the need for security consciousness as some churches and mosques were complacent in their security measures while appealing to religious leaders to moderate hours of worship and provide adequate security for their members during worship hours.
Speaking further, the Officer in Charge of the Anti- Bomb Squad, Abel Mbibi, reiterated the need for churches and mosques to comply with security measures agreed upon by the security and religious leaders while emphasis on security tips for religious, social, corporate and government establishments in the state, must not be downplayed.
The commissioner further commended the effort of religious leaders, stakeholders and security agencies in sustaining peace in the area and pledged to work harder to sustain the present peace being enjoyed in the state.
