Auwal Musa, the Commissioner of Police in Bauchi State, has urged personnel to display high professionalism in performing their duties during the Eid el-Adha celebration.

Mr Musa said this in a statement by the spokesman of the command, SP Ahmed Wakil, on Friday in Bauchi.

He charged the personnel to be courteous and assertive in carrying out their professional duties in the state, adding that the command was collaborating with other security agencies to protect lives and properties during the festivities.

Mr Musa said the command deployed conventional and tactical teams and logistics to prayer grounds, event centres and other public places to facilitate peaceful celebrations in the state.

“Strategic officers will reinforce the visibility policing structure and conduct confidence-building patrols, particularly around residential areas, major highways, and government and private infrastructure, to prevent and address any potential disruptions,” Mr Musa was quoted as saying in the statement.

While emphasising the significance of maintaining peace, Mr Musa warned that the command would not condone acts capable of disrupting relative peace in the state.
