The operation, which involved personnel of the 551 Nigerian Air Force Station and other security formations, was aimed at reassuring residents, denying criminal elements freedom of action and preventing security breaches during Sunday worship.
The joint patrol also demonstrated inter-agency cooperation in maintaining security and protecting worshippers across the affected areas.
The exercise was reported to have been conducted without any incident.
