\u201cWe are determined to deploy everything at our disposal to advance the safety and security of lives and property in our state and nothing will stop us from defeating the evil forces presently threatening our individual and collective security.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to appeal to members of the public to understand with us in the midst of the economic troubles that our actions may inflict as our one and only aim is to achieve and sustain the maximum security of lives and property in our dear State\u201d, Wike added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
