The Bauchi State Police Command has established comprehensive security protocols, including the deployment of plain-clothed personnel for intelligence gathering during the Eid-el-Fitr Sallah celebrations.

The Command has also put measures in place to ensure that deployed officers report to the Command’s Central Control Room to proactively address any potential threats to peace and security before and during the festive period.

Commissioner of Police (CP) Sani-Omolori Aliyu has directed all Area Commanders, Tactical Commanders, and Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) to maintain heightened visibility patrols in areas identified as black spots or flashpoints within their respective Areas of Responsibility (AORs).

The Command emphasised that:

“It is essential to convey a message to individuals considering disruptions to the procession: it is advised to reconsider their actions. They are encouraged to either participate in the festivities, approach the Police for rehabilitation, or face appropriate legal consequences for any unlawful actions.”
