Security agencies in Plateau State are leaving no stone un-turned towards achieving a hitch-free Eid-El fitri celebration with the deployment of security personnel across the state.

At the time of filing this report, there was visible presence of forces across Jos and Bukuru metropolis – mainly from the joint security task force comprising of the Army, Police, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Customs, Immigration, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency and the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
