The Nigeria Police has assured residents of Lagos and Ogun of adequate security as they celebrate Easter.
The Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) Zone 2 Command, Onikan, Lagos, Mr Olatoye Durosinmi, gave the assurance in a statement signed by the Zonal Public Relations Officer (ZPRO), SP Umma Ayuba, on Friday in Lagos.
Durosinmi directed the Commissioners of Police in Lagos and Ogun, along with the Commanders of Tactical Units and all officers within the zone, to implement heightened security measures across the region.
“The security measures include increased patrols and security presence in religious centres, shopping malls, tourist attractions, marketplaces, commercial districts, social gatherings, and residential areas.
“Also included are highways and major roads, motor park garages, relaxation centres, train stations and bus terminals, critical national infrastructure, government, and private property.
“These measures are designed to ensure the safety and security of all residents during the Easter holiday.
“Traffic flow will also be closely monitored to minimise congestion and maintain smooth movement throughout the festive period,” he said.
The police boss, who wished all residents of Lagos and Ogun a happy and peaceful Easter celebration, encouraged them to celebrate freely without fear of harassment or violence.
He emphasised the importance of collaboration between the police and the public to maintain a safe and secure environment.
Durosinmi urged residents to report any suspicious activity or crime to the nearest police station or by calling the Zone 2 command.
