“The command wishes to inform members of the public, particularly residents of the state that they should not entertain fear or panic, but to go about their normal lawful businesses.

“Residents are also advised to promptly report any information concerning threat to peace, safety and security in their environment to the nearest police station or contact the state police command.

“You can also contact the command through its social media platforms of @PoliceNG_Enugu and on Facebook, @Nigeriapoliceforceenugustatecommand for prompt necessary action,’’ he said.
