“We urge the police to please do more and help restore normalcy to the area and its environs.”
There have been concerns over the influx of members of unlawful society in the state and the proliferation of firearms.
This was attributed to cultism operations and hooliganism.
This is said to be fuelling the raging insecurity, including bloodletting in some parts of the state.
