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.

It could be recalled that last Sunday while worshipping at the Latter Day Chapel, Government House, Gov Emmanuel had promised to reposition security operations in the state, and to donate new patrol trucks to the agencies to ensure a smooth Christmas for all residents in the state.

These vehicles were received on behalf of the service commanders by the State Commissioner of Police, Andrew Amiengheme.

While appreciating the governor for providing the patrol vehicles, Mr 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.
