The Commissioner of Police, Plateau State Command, CP Bassey Ewah, has reassured all residents of the state of the command’s unwavering commitment to protecting lives and property and sustaining peace within the state.

This is in light of the evolving geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and their potential global implications. He said that while Plateau State remains stable and its internal security situation firmly under control, the command has reinforced proactive, intelligence-led policing measures across the state, in conjunction with sister security agencies.

The CP has directed heightened surveillance and intelligence gathering, strengthened collaboration with traditional and religious and opinion leaders across the state, and has directed enhanced visibility policing and patrols around worship centres and public spaces.

A statement on Monday by the command’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Superintendent Alfred Alabo, said CP Ewah said the measures are designed to ensure swift and powerful responses to any attempt by individuals or groups to exploit global developments to incite unrest or sectarian tension in the State.

The command reiterated that Plateau State will not serve as a theatre for foreign conflicts, pointing out that any attempt to import external ideological or religious tensions into the state will be met with the full weight of the law.

CP Ewah called on community leaders statewide to continue promoting peace and urging citizens to remain calm, vigilant, and law-abiding, and to report any suspicious activity to the nearest police formation.
