Mr Rimvyok said that the state corps commandant, Alexander Barunde, who approved the deployment, charged the personnel to ensure safety of lives and property.
”Our commandant has approved the immediate deployment of 1,408 personnel to beef up security in Plateau and its environs before, during and after the sallah season
”While briefing officers and men, Barunde ordered a complete beefing up of security across all the flashpoints and praying grounds across the 17 local government areas of the state.
