Measures In Place For Peaceful Easter Celebrations — Bauchi Police

The Police Command in Bauchi State says adequate security has been put in place to ensure a hitch-free Easter celebration across the state.

The Command Spokesman, SP Ahmed Wakil, in a statement made available to newsmen in Bauchi on Tuesday, said high visibility policing will be maintained before, during, and after the celebration.

“As Police patrol vehicles have been strategically deployed on our highways, undercover operatives and foot patrol policemen have also been mobilised to cover every nook and cranny,” he said.

The Spokesman explained that the Commissioner of Police, Umar Sanda, has directed all Area Commanders, Heads of Departments, and Divisional Police Officers to ventilate the State with overt and covert security deployments in order to safeguard lives and properties, provide security coverage to all worship and recreational centers.

“They are to conduct raids on identified trouble spots while all the Police Divisions of the Command have been charged to employ adequate measures in their neighborhood policing beats,” he said.

Wakil urged religious leaders, worshipers, and residents of the state to cooperate with the Police and other security agencies.

He called on the general public to use the Easter period for sober reflection, offering prayers for the peace, progress, and unity of the state and the nation at large.
