Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 7, Abuja, Mr. Salisu Fagge, on Wednesday, says adequate security measures have been taken to ensure hitch-free Easter celebrations in the zone.
Fagge said in a telephone interview that the police and other security agencies would ensure seamless celebration.
He said that already, a comprehensive operational order had been issued to commissioners of police in Abuja, Kaduna and Niger commands, to secure residents against any form of threat.
The AIG said that police personnel in the area have been well equipped to tackle any form of security threat.
“Residents should go about their legitimate activities as the police will ensure the protection of lives and property during and after the festivities” he said.
He assured that adequate security will be provided to all places worship, recreation centres, motor parks and other public places to prevent any form of threat to lives and property.
“Well armed security personnel had since been deployed to all federal highways including Kaduna-Abuja, Minna-Suleja, Minna-Kontagora and Kaduna-Jebba roads to ensure the safety of road users.”
Fagge called on residents to volunteer information on criminals around them for prompt security action, as well as remain vigilant and security conscious at all times. (NAN)
