Akwa Ibom CP assures residents of adequate security during Easter
The Commissioner of Police in Akwa Ibom, Baba Azare, says the police will provide adequate security across the state during the Easter celebration.
Mr Azare gave the assurance in a statement by DSP Timfon John, the state police public relations officer, in Uyo on Thursday.
The police commissioner said personnel had been adequately deployed across the 31 local government areas of the state.
He said the police command in Akwa Ibom was committed to maintaining law and order during the Easter period.
“We shall ensure the safety of lives and property during the Easter celebrations,” he said.
Mr Azare said high-visibility policing had been activated, with the strategic deployment of personnel to churches, event centres, parks, highways, and recreational grounds, among others.
“Our personnel will embark on aggressive but professional foot and vehicular patrols across the state.
“All deployments are intelligence-driven; officers have been warned to remain civil and respectful while discharging their duties,” he said.
The police chief congratulated the Christian faithful on the successful completion of the Lent season and urged residents of the state to be law-abiding during the period.
“The police in Akwa Ibom will continue to partner with other stakeholders to uphold peace, law and order in the state,” the CP added.
