As Easter celebration commences on Friday, April 2, and lasts till April 5, 2021, Ogun State Police Command has assured residents of the state that elaborate security arrangements have been put in place to ensure a hitch-free Easter celebration.
In a statement, the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi said that the command’s knowledge of various religious bodies in the state, which would attract an influx of people from different parts of the country, as well as outside the country to the state, would make it to leave no stone unturned to secure lives and property of residents and visitors.
The PPRO said that in view of this, a large number of police operatives had been tactically deployed by the state Commissioner of Police, Edward A. Ajogun, across the state, with a clear mandate of ensuring crime-free Easter celebration.
“Men of Special Units, such as Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT), Police Mobile Force (PMF) and Anti-Kidnapping Section, are also being deployed to nip in the bud any incident that may want to rear its ugly head.
“The Commissioner of Police, while felicitating with the Christian faithful in the state, enjoins them to reflect on the reason for the crucifixion of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and be good ambassadors of Christ always.
“He has also appealed to members of the public to alert the police whenever they notice any strange face(s), gathering or movement in their area, in order to assist the security agencies to perform their duty to the optimal level, as security is everybody’s business,” Oyeyemi said.
