Ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations scheduled for Friday, June 6, and Saturday, June 7, 2025, the Delta State Commissioner of Police, CP Olufemi Abaniwonda, has ordered the strategic deployment of officers across the state to ensure public safety and a smooth celebration.
According to a statement issued by the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, security personnel from Area Commands, Tactical Units, and Divisional Headquarters will be stationed at all Muslim prayer grounds and key locations.
The CP also directed Divisional Police Officers to intensify raids on criminal hideouts and black spots, stressing a zero-tolerance approach to crime during the festive period.
The police command assured residents, particularly Muslim worshippers, of robust security and seamless traffic flow during the holiday.
It also pledged to collaborate with sister agencies including the Military, DSS, NSCDC, and FRSC to prevent and neutralize threats from criminals such as kidnappers, armed robbers, and cultists.
“Anyone planning to disrupt the peace will face the full wrath of the law,” the statement warned.
Residents were urged to cooperate with law enforcement officers and obey safety directives, especially around major prayer venues where movement will be regulated.
CP Abaniwonda concluded by extending warm wishes to the Muslim community, urging them to observe a peaceful and safe Eid-el-Kabir.
