The Commissioner of Police, Mr Frank Mba gave the assurance in Abeokuta during a confidence-building patrol conducted by the Police and other security forces in the State.
Mr Mba noted that some criminal elements were planning to take advantage of the challenging economic situation to disrupt the peace being enjoyed in the State said the command would not allow persons with criminal intentions, to unleash mayhem on residents, private and public property, and critical national infrastructure, including banks and offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
