The Police Command in Oyo State on Tuesday assured citizens of the state adequate security before, during and after Eld-el-fitr celebration.
The command gave the assurance in a statement by its Public Relations Officer, SP Adewale Osifeso, in Ibadan.
The Muslims will be celebrating the eid-el-fitr on Wednesday, to mark the end of the 30-day fasting.
According to Mr Osifeso, the state Commissioner of Police, Adebola Hamzat, said that a comprehensive security provision had been put in place to ensure relative calmness during and beyond the holidays.
He said the command’s spotlight would be beamed extensively across all critical infrastructures, places of worship, recreation centres public spaces, financial institutions and all connecting routes and highways leading in and out of the state.
“Consequent on the above and in line with standard Operational Procedure, the CP has directed Area commanders, divisional police officers, heads of tactical teams and formations throughout the command to lead security operations from the frontline.
“These shall include, intelligence-led motorised patrols, intensive stop and search, surveillance routines around places of residence, national critical infrastructure and purposeful raids to rid criminal elements,” he said.
He said that the command had increased layers of supervision for its field operatives during the holidays and beyond to ensure optimal professionalism in the discharge of its duties.
Mr Osifeso said that the CP felicitated with all Muslim faithful and the general public on the successful completion of Ramadan.
The PPRO re-affirmed the command’s commitment toward the protection of lives and property for all and sundry.
