As the holiday season approaches, the Ekiti State Police Command is taking extra measures to ensure the safety and security of its residents. The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Akinwale Adeniran, made a statement assuring the public that there would be strong security before, during, and after the yuletide. This announcement aims to keep Ekiti peaceful and safe throughout the festive period.

The police are calling on all residents to support the law and cooperate with authorities to maintain order. Commissioner Adeniran emphasized that unlawful gatherings, protests, and demonstrations will not be tolerated. He stressed the importance of protecting the state’s peaceful atmosphere and ensuring everyone’s safety.

Recent intelligence reports indicated that some individuals may try to exploit the holiday season, pretending to protest, but with the intent to cause chaos. As a result, the police are taking proactive steps to prevent such activities from disturbing public peace.

Additionally, the police have announced a ban on the sale and use of fireworks, knockouts, and firecrackers in Ekiti. These items can cause unnecessary panic and confusion, especially since their sounds can sometimes be mistaken for gunshots. They also pose potential health risks and can distract from the real security situation.

The police also appealed to parents and guardians to guide their children and prevent any behavior that could threaten the safety of the state. Those who ignore the law and violate the directives will face legal consequences.

The Ekiti State Police Command expressed gratitude for the support and cooperation of the people of Ekiti throughout the year. Their efforts have played a major role in reducing crime and maintaining peace, and the police are hopeful that this spirit will continue during the holidays.

This festive season, everyone is encouraged to stay vigilant, follow the law, and help keep Ekiti safe.
