The need for collaborative efforts between security personnel and the citizens to combat the wave of insecurity in the country has again been brought to the fore.
Taraba State Deputy Governor, Haruna Manu stated this while addressing journalists shortly after performing the Eid prayer at the Taraba State University Mosque, Jalingo.
The Deputy Governor called on Muslims to be steadfast and pray fervently during the festive period for peace to reign in all parts of the country.
Manu while congratulating Muslims for the successful completion of the Ramadan fast, urged them to put into practice what they have learnt during the fasting period.
He stressed the need for the people to be vigilante and warned against harbouring suspicious elements in their domain.
The Deputy Governor commended security personnel for their sacrifice in checkmating crime and criminality in Taraba State and the country at large.
Earlier in his sermon, Imam Ishak Jibrin stressed the importance of peace in the society and charged the congregation to be good ambassadors of peace as exemplified by prophet Muhammad.
The Eid prayer which marked the end of the thirty day Ramadan fast was attended by thousands of muslims as well as some top government officials who accompanied the Deputy Governor amidst tight security.
