With only a few hours to Christmas festivities, the Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Adekimi Ojo, has directed the implementation of robust security measures across the state to ensure the safety of lives and property.
A statement by the spokesperson of the state police command, SP Adetoun Ejire Adeyemi, in Ilorin on Wednesday, said the proactive deployment of personnel across the state underscores the command’s readiness and dedication to sustaining public safety and confidence during the festive period.
According to the statement, “In alignment with the Nigeria Police Force’s nationwide security architecture for the Yuletide season as outlined by the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, visibility policing, intelligence-led patrols, and targeted operations have been intensified across places of worship, markets, recreational and event centres, motor parks, highways, and other public spaces.
“Tactical and specialised units are on heightened alert, with sustained surveillance and raids ongoing in identified black spots and flashpoints.”
Deployed officers, according to the spokesperson, have been directed to remain professional, firm, and courteous in the discharge of their duties.
The command encouraged members of the public to remain vigilant, celebrate responsibly, and promptly report any suspicious activity to the nearest police station or through the command’s control room numbers, 07032069501 and 08125275046.
