The Inspector
General of Police IGP Ibrahim K. Idris NPM mni on behalf of entire
personnel of the Nigeria Police Force heartily felicitates with Christian
faithfuls throughout the country on the occasion of this year’s Easter
celebration.
Consequently,
the Inspector General of Police has directed Assistant Inspectors General of
Police in charge of Zonal commands and Commissioners of Police nationwide to be
on ground throughout the celebration to supervise and implement the robust
security arrangements and massive deployment of Police personnel throughout the
Country for crime prevention and control, so as to ensure crime and hitch free
celebration. The deployment of the Police personnel for crime prevention and
crowd control will cover places of worships, recreation centres, and venues of
celebration, other public places and public and private facilities.
Consistent surveillance,
intelligence gathering and continuous raid of criminal hideouts, black spots,
flash/ vulnerable points are already ongoing and will be sustained throughout
the period. Vehicular and foot patrols and adequate visibility policing will
also be embarked upon to guarantee safety of lives and property throughout the
period.
Members of the
public are hereby implored to cooperate with the personnel of the Police High
Way patrol teams, the Special Anti robbery Squads and other Police Units
deployed to prevent crime on the highways and major roads across the country,
as they are under instructions to be civil, polite but firm in ensuring the
security and safety of travellers and other road users throughout the country.
The Nigeria
Police Force is therefore assuring all Nigerians of its renewed commitment to
ensure adequate safety of lives and property during this period and beyond.
The IGP while
wishing all Christians across the country a happy Easter celebration, enjoins
them to extol the virtues of Jesus Christ by propagating peace, demonstrating
love with their fellow citizens, irrespective of religious, ethnic or
political inclination.
