This
directive became necessary following the declaration of Monday 12th
and Tuesday 13th August,
2019 as public holiday marking Eid-el-Kabir festival, a period set
aside by Muslim faithful to offer sacrifice to Allah give alms to the
needy and show love to all concern.
He
charged the State Commandants to work in synergy with other sister
Agencies and urged the personnel to be civil and diplomatic in their
approach to the populace.
He
said, personnel should be deployed to prayer grounds, shopping
centres, malls, recreation centres, black spots and areas considered
to be vulnerable to attack noting that hoodlums, vandals, terrorists
and those with sinister motives targets festive periods to carry out
their dastardly act.
Why
congratulating Muslim faithful, he encouraged them to emulate the
qualities of Prophet Mohammed by living an exemplary life that
depicts their true practice by preaching and praying for peace in the
nation and not to catch at the event as an opportunity to engage in
merry making alone or indulge in an act that is unholy.
Gana
reiterated that apart from the deployment of personnel, specialised
units such as SWAT, CBRN, Rescue Team, Ambulances, Armed Squads and
Sniffer dogs should be strategically positioned for quick
intervention.
He
urged the Public to report any case of emergency, flood, collapse
building, vandalism and other criminalities to the Corps.
Gana
charged parents and guardians to warn their wards from getting
themselves involved in any act that is capable of affecting the peace
of the Nation before, during and after the festival as anyone caught
will face the wrath of the law.
