Governor Lalong while reacting to last  Sunday’s  unfortunate  incident around Dutse Uku said the ability of residents to work with security agencies to prevent it from spilling to other areas is a testimony of the deepening peace building effort of the government and people of the state.

 

He said such behaviour has given the state and its people a positive image and should be sustained.

 

Governor Lalong in a message through state Commissioner of Information and Communication implored citizens to resist the temptation of being drawn back into the ugly past by being vigilant and report any suspicious behaviour or persons to relevant authorities.

 

He commended security agencies for bringing the situation under control within the given area where the incident happened.

 

Governor Lalong said purveyors of bad news who had gone to town about another crisis in the state have been put to shame as citizens stood together to defeat the ghost of war mongers.

 

He assures of better days ahead as his administration works together with citizens and security agencies to prevent criminal activities in the state.
