The police in Kaduna State have
banned social gatherings at recreation centres and parks during the Sallah
celebration in the state.
The State Commissioner of Police,
Alhaji Umar Shehu, on Thursday added that places for fun seekers such as Gamji Gate
Amusement Park and Galaxy Park, among others, would be closed down.
The police boss said, “Praying on
the Eid ground is a sign that the Ramadan has ended. After that,
everybody must return home.
“We have banned social gatherings
and all operators of social centers have been instructed to lock up the venues
because of the present security situation in the country. Anybody who violates
the order will be arrested.”
The CP also said strategies to
checkmate activities of criminals in the state had been put in place.
“The command has deployed
policemen, as well as undercover operatives, to man and monitor vulnerable
points with a view to ensure tight security across the state,” he added.
The Emir of Zazzau, who is also
the Chairman of the Kaduna State Council of Traditional Rulers, Alhaji Shehu
Idris, has also canceled the traditional Durbar Festival that is usually
staged after the Sallah prayers.
