9. We wish to commend the efforts of the media influencers, security men and above all, the youths who are collaborating with the authorities to ensure our State remains peaceful.

Lastly, youths are hereby charged to be more vigilant at this critical time in our nation history when insecurity has taken an alarming dimension and the guards need the full cooperation of all to clamp down on the perpetrators of these unlawful acts against humanity.

May God help us all !
