“New security plans have been implemented across the length and breadth of Kwara State.

“One of the strategies to put crime and criminality at bay in the state is ‘Harmony Security Week.

“This operation will include aggressive stop and search, motorized, and foot patrols on a 24-hour basis.

“To this end, the CP is using this medium to put the good people of Kwara State on notice of the special security operation and advise the people not to panic or be apprehensive when confronted with the policemen on the assignment but to comport themselves and submit themselves for body and vehicular searches whenever they are asked to do so.

“The officers deployed for the assignment have been trained and warned to respect the rights of the citizens in the process of carrying out their duties.
