**Kaduna Police Beef Up Security Ahead of Eid al-Fitr Celebrations** As Nigerians gear up to celebrate the Eid al-Fitr festival, marking the end of Ramadan, the Kaduna State Police Command has taken proactive steps to ensure a peaceful and safe celebration for residents. The command has deployed more personnel, including tactical commanders and intelligence operatives, to strategic locations across the state, including Eid prayer grounds, markets, and highways. In a statement by DSP Mansir Hassan, the Police Public Relations Officer, the command assured residents that they are committed to providing a secure environment for all to celebrate the Sallah festivities. To this end, the police have intensified patrols and surveillance in all parts of the state to prevent any potential threats. One key area of concern is the use of knockouts and fireworks, which are strictly prohibited during the celebrations. Parents and guardians are advised to warn their children against using such items, as violators will face arrest and prosecution. Members of the public are also encouraged to report anyone found using or selling prohibited items to the nearest police station. To maintain the peace, residents are urged to remain vigilant at all times and promptly report any suspicious movements, persons, or objects to the security agencies. This is a timely reminder for Nigerians to remain mindful of their surroundings and to cooperate with the police in maintaining a safe and secure environment for all. In recent years, security concerns have been a major issue during Eid celebrations in Kaduna and other parts of the country. Therefore, the Kaduna Police Command's efforts to boost security ahead of the festivities are welcome news for residents. By working together, the police and residents can ensure that the Eid al-Fitr celebrations are peaceful, enjoyable, and memorable for all.
