measures to protect lives and property of people in the state,
following series of bombings in neighboring Yobe and Borno.
State police spokesperson Altine Daniel told reporters in Yola, the
state capital on Saturday that the command had taken some
precautionary measures since the beginning of the Boko Haram crisis.
"Since the beginning of the crisis, we have considered ourselves as
one of the states that is very close to these crisis prone states,"
she added. "And following the recent happening, we put in measures to
make sure that the spillover did not affect us," she said.
Altine told reporters that the command had introduced more patrols
across the state, especially in the border towns. "Patrols have been
intensified. Stop and search increased within the state capital and
major roads that link the state to others to ensure that lives and
property of people in the state are protected," she said.
She said the command has so far not received any report about security threat.
"But as the saying goes, when your neighbor's house is on fire, you
have to take precaution," the spokesperson added.
