has put in place adequate security measures to further protect lives and
property of Kwarans during and after Christmas and New Year celebration.
The command added that it had in the recent time
arrested no fewer than eight suspected armed robbers as part of efforts towards
reducing crimes and criminality to its barest minimum.
Commissioner of Police in the State, CP Agoola

Kwarans to shun any act of trial by ordeals as noting that “The law frowns at
it seriously.
“People should report any infractions or violation
of their rights to the police; people should be vigilant and report any
suspicious movement or activities to the police in the respective areas.”
His words: Some of the security measures put in
place includes; “Raiding of criminal hideouts, Indian hemp joints, brothels
among others, intensive motorize patrols, conduct of stop and search,
intelligence gathering and swift response to and distress calls.
“Many Cyclists operating late in the night after the stipulated
2100hrs were arrested and several motorcycles especially unregistered ones,
which are suspected to have being used for criminal purposes were impounded and
owners investigated while those found wanting were charged to court.”
The police boss further advised young ones to desist
from the use of fireworks and knockouts (banger) stressing that those found
wanting will be arrested and prosecuted.
CP Oshodi-Glover however commended Governor
Abdulfatah Ahmed for his usual support and donation of eight patrol vans tagged
“Operation Harmony” for the peaceful co-existence of the people of the state.
