The Delta State Police Command has warned criminal elements, including cultists and other mischief-makers, to desist from unlawful activities as Muslim faithful celebrate Eid al-Fitr.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Aina Adesola, said this as he ordered the strategic deployment of personnel across Delta State to ensure a peaceful and secure celebration.
The command says the CP has directed Divisional Police Officers, Area Commanders and Tactical Commanders to intensify intelligence-led raids on criminal hideouts and black spots.
The Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations has also been mandated to ensure effective coordination and supervision of all deployments to sustain peace and security before, during and after the celebrations.
The Commissioner of Police, on behalf of the management team, officers and men of the command, urged members of the public to remain law-abiding and vigilant, while wishing Muslim faithful a peaceful and hitch-free celebration.
