He said that the security agencies were resolved than ever to ensure that such people were apprehended and brought to justice.
As the world marks this year’s International Peace Day, Nigerians must contribute their own quota to entrenching world peace.

Such people do not mean well for this nation and we must shame them and their evil predictions of bloodshed by reporting suspicious persons and activities immediately they are spotted,’’ he said.
According to Omeri, only Nigerians can ensure "a nation where peace and justice reign", as stipulated in the second stanza of the country’s National Anthem.
