“While the deployment is to yield the desired result of maximum security through overt and covert operations, the CG reiterates that oil installations, railway tracks, power and telecommunications, schools as well as recreational facilities should be adequately protected through surveillance.
“Members of the public are also to support by giving useful and timely information on suspected acts and persons for prompt and appropriate response,” the statement added.
