Kaduna (Nigeria) – The Nigeria police has mandated its commands
nationwide to beef-up security during and after the Sallah
celebrations.
A statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu
says, the police will during the period, pay special attention to “places of worship, critical public places and other vulnerable points prone to
attacks.”
Nigeria has since the emergence of Boko Haram faced bomb blasts, targeting places of worship, public buildings and other spots where people gather in large number.
“The police high command is hopeful that the operational strategies
adopted and the renewed collaboration with the public will yield
positive result”. The statement says.
It says, “While felicitating with the Muslim faithful as they round-up
the Ramadan fast,” the Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase,
“enjoins them and other citizens to courageously continue to support
the police by providing useful information towards preventing and
uncovering crimes and their perpetrators.”
