Udom Emmanuel, governor of Akwa Ibom, has taken steps to tackle pockets of insecurity in the state ahead of the Christmas, donating 30 new utility vehicles to the security agencies.
The vehicles are the first batch of 100 patrol trucks earmarked for presentation to the security agencies.
The governor, who also presided over the security council meeting attended by all service commanders in the state, also approved the reactivation of a joint task force in the state.
He acknowledged reports of insecurity in parts of the state and promised to continue partnering security agencies for the safety of life and property of Akwa Ibom people.
These vehicles were received on behalf of the service commanders by Andrew Amiengheme, the state commissioner of police.
While appreciating the governor for providing the patrol vehicles, Amiengheme assured citizens of maximum protection during the Christmas and beyond.
He urged citizens to call the police emergency numbers when there is an incident and desist from publishing baseless and sensational reportage in the media.
