The police command in Ogun State has assured residents of adequate security and effective police patrol during the Easter celebration.
SP Omolola Odutola, the State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who gave assurance in Abeokuta on Saturday urged the people not to panic and enjoy the Easter celebration with moderation, saying that there would be presence of police at all places in order to forestall any break down of law and order.
“Wherever you find yourself, be rest assured that there is visibility police in all places.
“Also, we have continued to maintain our usual routine patrol. So, whether there is Easter or not, if you want to move from one place to another I can assure you that you have no reason to panic,” she said.
The PPRO, however, warned residents against night activities, especially church vigil at remote areas.
“We need to rethink and re-orientate our pastors and religious worshipers, we should try as much as possible to be at alert.
“We do not want them to engage in night vigil just to ensure that nobody comes to harass them or kidnap them.
“We have recorded cases of worshipers being kidnapped during vigil at remote areas,” she said. (NAN)
