Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has called on the people of the state to remain calm and go about their normal businesses following a heavy gun battle between the police and military at the Adamawa State Police headquarters in Yola.
The governor made this known through his Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou, in a statement on Wednesday.
He appealed for accommodation and tolerance among security agencies, saying that the incident was a setback to the peace-building efforts in the state.
Governor Fintiri disclosed that the government is on top of the situation and has appealed to the parties involved to exercise restraint.
He also urged all security personnel on special assignment to remain at their duty post and conduct themselves with a high sense of maturity.
“I am concerned that such acrimony could have lasting consequences on the hard-earned peace we have been able to build over the years,” the governor said.
“I appeal to all security personnel for restraint, mutual respect and tolerance for one another as people destined to work together in this great state. I appeal for patience and understanding as the administration works towards lasting solutions to these conflicts.”
