Usman urged residents to always work hand-in-hand with security operatives to get rid of banditry and other crimes in the state.
“The command wishes to advise the people to always employ measures of synergy and cooperation with security agencies in dealing with the menace of cattle rustlers, kidnapping, banditry and all forms of criminals and criminality,’’ he said.
The Commissioner said that already the command was reviewing the security architecture of the hinterlands to confront the crime prone areas once and for all. (NAN)
