cattle-rustlers, kidnappers and other criminal

improved communication infrastructure to
respond to threats. Our internal security team,
Operation Yaki, has been active in raiding black
spots and preventing crimes, while responding
more rapidly to robberies and other threats to
lives and property.
While thanking security agencies for their efforts
and service to our state, we ask our religious and
community leaders to continue to preach peace
and unity, promote tolerance, discourage hate
speech and renew calls for increased vigilance in
all our communities, “he said.

programme,” he added.
