The Commissioner of Police, Yobe State Command, Emmanuel Ado, has urged citizens to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station or security formation for immediate response.

The CP, in a statement released on Saturday, gave the charge via the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Dungus Abdulkarim, assuring residents of enhanced security measures before, during, and after the celebrations, emphasizing that security is a collective responsibility.

“To ensure a safe and peaceful Sallah celebration, the police command has mobilized officers to conduct visible patrols across the state, covering major routes, residential areas, praying grounds, recreational centers, and critical infrastructure.

“The Command specifically warns motorists to avoid reckless driving and over-speeding, which can lead to accidents and security challenges. He also cautions youths against engaging in any activities that may disrupt the peace or compromise security in playing grounds and recreational centers,” the statement added.

The Commissioner of Police, while extending wishes to the Muslim community on the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr, urged them to work together to ensure a joyous and secure celebration.
