The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun has reassured Nigerians of the Nigeria Police Force’s (NPFs) commitment in ensuring safety and security during the upcoming Easter Celebrations.
NPF’s Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement on X, stated that the IGP gave this reassurance to safeguard all citizens and visitors during the upcoming Easter celebrations on Thursday.
In line with this commitment, the IGP has ordered round-the-clock security and protection of public spaces across the country.
Under the directive of the IGP, all State Commissioners of Police (CPs) and their supervising Zonal Assistant Inspectors-General of Police (AIGs) have been tasked with deploying police personnel and operational assets to areas of likely security threats within their respective areas of responsibility (AoRs).
The IGP also assured all travellers who will be visiting their hometowns and other places within the country for the festivities of adequate security irrespective of the medium of such travels whether by road, air, waterways, or rail, as deployments have been increased and visibility patrols intensified in all areas including aerial patrol and surveillance.
The Nigeria Police Force emphasized the importance of professional conduct among its officers deployed for these duties, while also ensuring courteousness to law-abiding citizens.
On the contrary, he made it clear that officers would maintain firmness and ruthlessness towards criminal elements seeking to exploit the festive period for their unlawful activities.
The IGP felicitates with Nigerians, especially the Christian community, on the occasion of the Easter celebrations.
