The state commandant, Mr John Fayemi, while parading the suspects, said the Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU) of the command had been working assiduously to make sure that the state was free from security breaches.
According to him, the command will not allow young boys and girls, who are supposed to be our “leaders of tomorrow, destroy our heritage and relegate human dignity with impunity.”
