Insecurity: Police mount 24-hour surveillance in Adamawa
The police command in Adamawa has mounted 24-hour surveillance and patrol as part of proactive measures to protect lives and property during the Eid-el-Kabir celebration in the state.
The spokesman for the command, Suleiman Nguroje, stated this in a statement on Sunday in Yola.
Mr Nguroje said the command had deployed police officers across the state for 24-hour surveillance and patrol throughout the festive period.
“The Commissioner of Police, Aliyu Alhaji, has ordered constant surveillance, patrol, and visibility policing across the state to forestall any breach of peace.
“The measure is to ensure hitch-free celebrations on the occasion of the Sallah, which may likely take place on July 20, 2021. The CP enjoins the citizens to go about the celebrations without any fear or apprehension,” said the statement.
It added the command also directed the divisional police officers, operational commanders, and their supervisory area commanders to ensure the safety and security of the public “before, during and after the occasion.”
According to Mr Nguroje, “strategic officers” will strengthen the “visibility policing structure” and carry out confidence-building patrols, particularly in residential areas, major highways, government, and private infrastructure, to prevent a breach of peace.
Mr Nguroje urged the state’s residents to support the police and other security agencies to secure lives and properties.
He further called on the people to report suspicious persons and movements to the police and security agencies.
