Oyeyemi further said that the Commissioner of Police (CP) in the state, Edward Ajogun, had directed all the area commanders and divisional police officers (DPOs) to be on red alert throughout the sallah period.
The PPRO added that the tactical, anti-kidnapping and anti-cultism units had been deployed across the state to further beef up security during the Eid-el Firt celebrations.
“All the recreational centres and places of worship have been properly scrutinised by the police to avoid any untoward occurrence throughout the period of the celebrations,” he said.
According to him, personnel in the bomb unit have also been deployed in praying grounds to monitor and curb any criminal act while the celebrations lasted. (NAN)
