He further warned individuals buying land from land grabbers to desist from the act and advised plot seekers to follow the right procedures.

“The security situation here is calm and is under control after we deployed soldiers yesterday from different organized forces under the command of a colonel,” the commissioner said.

“Today, we brought a joint operation to provide security and to monitor movement between the two payams. I came here last Thursday and I met with the youth and I told them that nobody should provoke the situation.”

Meanwhile, the head chief of Ladu Payam, Beda Elia Tongun said the security situation in the area has improved after the force deployment.

He urged the government to look into the issue of land-grabbing to prevent further bloodshed.
