“We expect your cooperation, to have good synergy with the other, security agencies, so that together we can combat, crime and criminality. So that we can have a state that is safe and peaceful.
“We have enjoyed relative peace in the state in the last three years, and we will continue to go back to the drawing board to ensure that the state continues to be safe so that our people can go to sleep with their two eyes closed.”
