Cote d'Ivoire is to beef up security in its economic capital Abidjan against rising criminal activities, the authority announced on Wednesday.
Security forces will begin patrolling the city for a period of time in a move to curb the worsening situation, said Raphael Lobé, chief of the country's security operation center, while calling on citizens to maintain "calm and serenity."
In the past two months, banditry went on rampage, attacking more than 20 residences, seven shops and 150 citizens. The authorities also seized a large quantity of arms in anti-crime operations, Lobe said.
