The police boss said the command and other security agencies were determined to get peace return on the Plateau, stressing that the command had mapped out strategies of ensuring an effective policing in the state.
He appealed to the state government, the public and the media to cooperate with the command by providing useful information to enable it to achieve its goals.
The CP expressed worry over the constant clashes between farmers and Fulani herders in the state, stressing that it was the desire of the command to dialogue with them with a view to tackling the clashes tenaciously.
