The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu has warned against mass gathering in Lagos, Kano, Abuja and Ogun ahead of the Eid el-Fitr celebration on Monday and Tuesday.
In a statement by Force spokesperson, Frank Mba, on Friday, while congratulating Nigerians as the country prepare to celebrate this year’s Eid el-Fitr, Adamu assured the nation of adequate security during and after the celebrations.
He said proactive and robust anti-crime measures, including the deployments of tactical and intelligence assets of the Force, are already in place to prevent any untoward incidents in the country.
The IGP further reminded citizens that the COVID-19 prevention regulation orders including the inter-state movement restriction orders, national curfew and the prohibition of mass socio-religious gatherings by the Federal Government in Lagos, Ogun, Kano States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and restriction orders by Governments in some States of the Federation, are still in force.
He therefore enjoined citizens to observe the Eid celebrations bearing in mind the unusual times occasioned by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic as the Force will leave no stone unturned towards the due enforcement of the orders.
