The Senior Divisional Officer, SDO for Bui Division, Gilbert Meyong has challenged the population of the division to collaborate with the defense and security forces against terrorism.


He disclosed that he has cautioned those who are still hiding terrorists to desist from such evil acts.


“I have cautioned those who are still housing terrorists to desist from such acts or continue to do so at their own risk”, the SDO said.
