Plateau Governor, Lalong
By Raymond Gukas, Jos
Worried by insecurity that has plagued the state, The Plateau State governor, Mr. Simon Lalong has warned local government chairmen in the state not to allow strange faces into their areas in order to curb the security threats in the communities.
Lalong said this in Jos during a one-day workshop for Local Government Councils Chairmen and Secretaries on the subject: security reportage.
According to him, any Chairman who refused to adhere to this directive will be removed as he hinted that bandits are fleeing the North East and Niger State where they are currently under intense fire from Nigeria security and are fleeing to neighbouring states.
He said “don’t allow any stranger to settle in your local government areas, because I will not take it lightly with any of you when crisis erupts in your locality. I will not tolerate any form of attack again like it happened few months backs.
“I ordered the arrest of community leaders during the last crisis and I will remove any of you, who will compromise security or treat security matters with lukewarm attitude. I don’t want to be taken unawares again,” Lalong said.
“The way and manner information is processed and passed on to the relevant security agencies is of great concern and even more crucial because, in some cases, it is a matter of life and death,” he said.
