Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has reinforced security with the recruitment of 1,450 personnel of Operation Rainbow, the state’s security outfit.
Mutfwang, while felicitating with the people of Plateau, urged residents to go about their celebrations without fear, stating that measures had been put in place to ensure a tighter security for the people of the state.
“As part of proactive measures to enhance security during the Yuletide and beyond, the state government has commissioned 1,450 trained and patriotic personnel of Operation Rainbow.
“The operatives are carefully selected from the 17 local government areas of the state, cutting across faiths and ethnic backgrounds. They are tasked with providing early warning signals to security agencies to enable swift response to emerging threats.
“The state government has concluded arrangements with the Nigerian Air Force for aerial surveillance using helicopters throughout the Christmas period,” the statement added.
It said the measure would ensure prompt response to distress calls in rural and hard-to-reach communities.
“The governor extended his felicitations on behalf of his family, the Plateau State Government and the peace-loving people of the state to Christians worldwide, wishing them a peaceful, joyous and spiritually fulfilling Christmas celebration.”
