Bindow gave the assurance during an emergency meeting held with heads of security formations in the state and leaders of Igbo community on Friday in Yola.

”Adamawa people are peace loving citizens, what is going on in the South East is not in the interest of the good people of the region.

“Therefore, I am calling all South East citizens especially Igbos residing in all parts of Adamawa to feel free and continue with their normal business activities as they are safe and at home.” Bindow said.
