Police in Plateau State and the Special Task Force in Jos have mapped out new strategies aimed at checking the spate of bombings in the state.
Also, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Emmanuel Ayeni, alleged on Tuesday that those responsible for the February 26 bombing of Church of Christ in Nigeria and Sunday’s explosion which claimed lives at St. Finbarr’s Catholic Church, both in Jos, were outsiders.
Ayeni said the new measures were arrived at after a meeting between the Chief of defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Oluseyi Petinrin, and all stakeholders in the state.
The CP said henceforth no vehicular movement would be allowed on roads leading to places of worship on Fridays and Sundays till the end of prayer sessions, except those of officials who must arrive before the beginning of worship.
He said, “We have agreed that to ward off these elements, all of us have roles to play. Every worshipper must subject themselves to search while there must be no accessibility to worship centres. Nobody must be allowed to carry bags to worship centres and when you suspect any object, do not go near.
“You can carry only your bible or your Qur’an. You must avoid clustering around worship centres after worship. We observe that after worship people cluster around to gossip. Your business is worship and go to your house after that endeavour to quickly go to your house.”
