Nigeria's police in northeast Adamawa State has intensified security measures to protect lives and property of people in the state, following series of bombings in neighboring Yobe and Borno.
State police spokesperson Altine Daniel told reporters in Yola, the state capital on Saturday that the command had taken some precautionary measures since the beginning of the Boko Haram crisis.
"Since the beginning of the crisis, we have considered ourselves as one of the states that is very close to these crisis prone states," she added. "And following the recent happening, we put in measures to make sure that the spillover did not affect us," she said.
Altine told reporters that the command had introduced more patrols across the state, especially in the border towns. "Patrols have been intensified. Stop and search increased within the state capital and major roads that link the state to others to ensure that lives and property of people in the state are protected," she said.
She said the command has so far not received any report about security threat.
"But as the saying goes, when your neighbour's house is on fire, you have to take precaution," the spokesperson added.
She appealed to the people of the state to report any suspicious movement to the nearest security office for immediate action.
