In a bid to ensure a peaceful and secure yuletide season, the Borno State Police Command has deployed over 3,000 personnel to secure churches and other places of worship across the state. This move was disclosed by the Commissioner of Police in the state, CP Mohammed Yusufu, during a meeting with the Chairman of North-East Christian Association of Nigeria (NCAN), Bishop Mohammed Naga, in Maiduguri.
The meeting was specifically called to discuss the security arrangements for the festive period, with the goal of safeguarding all churches and places of worship in the state. CP Yusufu emphasized that the Command is committed to ensuring a hitch-free Christmas and New Year celebrations, and that the deployment of personnel is aimed at preventing any disruptions or security breaches.
In addition to securing places of worship, the security arrangement is also aimed at safeguarding the state’s border communities with Chad, Niger, and Cameroon. This move is crucial in preventing any potential security threats from neighboring countries.
CP Yusufu assured Bishop Naga that the Command will deploy adequate security personnel to all churches and places of worship in the state, ensuring that worshippers can celebrate the festive season without any fear of insecurity.
Bishop Naga, in his response, acknowledged the Command’s efforts in protecting life and property, and pledged the support of the NCAN to the police in achieving their mandate.
