Police record peaceful Xmas celebration in Mararaba
The just concluded Christmas celebration has been rated as very peaceful and crime free in Mararaba, a densely populated settlement in Nasarawa State.
The Divisional Police Officer `A’ Division in Mararaba, Malam Aliyu Haruna,said there was no record of any breach of the peace in the area during the period.
``I often went out with my men on night patrols to make sure that the Christmas was celebrated in a peaceful and crime free atmosphere.’’
The DPO added that the peaceful and orderly experience was recorded through the special mercy of God, not just by the police’s human efforts.
He expressed the hope that this record would be maintained or even improved upon during the forthcoming New Year celebration and beyond.
The DPO reiterated that the police had zero tolerance for crime and that people with criminal tendencies should relocate from Mararaba in their own interest.
``We don't take chances in promptly confronting any security and crime related matters."
He said a robbery suspect, impersonating a police officer, was arrested recently during operation and had been charged to court.

Police parade fake pastor in Nsukka
Ebere Amarizu, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Enugu State, on Thursday in Nsukka paraded one Chinedu Nnaya, the alleged founder of a fake deliverance ministry.
Nnaya was alleged to have established the ``True Vine Ministry” which he used to extort money from people in order to conduct family deliverance for them.
Amarizu said that luck, however, ran against the fake pastor when his last victim Mr Prince Divine, a contractor with in Nsukka, alerted the police after N60,000 was allegedly extorted from him
He said, ``The fake pastor used tortoise, chains, padlock and a bag of salt to deceive people into beliving that he was conducting deliverance.
``The last victim alerted the police, our men were put on surveillance, when the last victim on arrangement with the police invited him to another family for deliverance. It was there he was arrested on Wednesday.''
Amarizu said, ``It was in the process of the deliverance that we discovered that the tortoise and padlock, he claimed were buried in the compound by enemies, were actually planted by him.
``They were planted when he sent all of us out from the room at a point during his fake prayers.
``He was paid N60,000 for the job and his flight ticket, as claimed to have come from Abuja.
``It was later discovered that he is living in Nsukka. He even told us he is working with the Adoration Ministry, Enugu. But we also discovered that he is a liar.''
