The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu has directed key stakeholders in the police force to ensure there is tight security of all public spaces as Nigerians celebrate the Easter.
The IG made this known in a Twitter statement released by the Police Force on earlier today.
According to Adamu, all State Commissioners of Police and their supervising Assistant Inspectors-General of Police (AIGs) have been ordered to ensure adequate deployment of police personnel – both covert and overt operatives, and other operational assets to areas of security interest within their respective areas of responsibilities.
They are also to ensure confidence-boosting, proactive and high visibility patrols are carried out along the highways, motor parks, train stations, airports, worship centres, banks, and other financial institutions while taking adequate measures to provide a peaceful,crime-free, and enabling environment for religious, cultural and other socio-economic activities to thrive.
The IGP in addition also directed Commissioners of Police and their supervising AIGs to ensure proper supervision of the men assigned for these assignments, even as he wished Nigerians a blessed Easter celebration.
