Onyeka, who is the head of internal security and a strong peace advocate in the state, has enhanced security around the state house of assembly complex as a proactive measure to prevent such villainous plan.
“The command, therefore, warns anybody who has the intention to foment trouble around the state house of assembly or any part of the state to desist from such or be ready to face the full wrath of the law when apprehended.”
The command urged the peace-loving residents of Plateau State to continue to give useful and timely information to the command to enable the police to respond quickly to distress calls from the public.
It also advised parents and guardians to caution their wards and children not to be used by selfish persons as tools to disrupt the peace in the state.
Our correspondent reports that the police three weeks ago sealed the complex due to the leadership crisis that rocked the assembly.
