IGP declares: Mass socio-religious gathering prohibited during Eid el-Fitr celebration

You can be rest assured that the police will ensure adequate security during the coming Eid el-Fitr celebration, but be sure that no mass socio-religious gatherings will be allowed in any part of the country!

The Inspector General of Police, IGP Mohammed Adamu said that much today, in an official statement from Force Public Relations Officer, Force Headquarters, Abuja, DCP Frank Mba. 

While congratulating Nigerians on the successful completion of the Ramadan, Adamu reminded all citizens that, the COVID-19 prevention regulation orders including the inter-state movement restriction orders, national curfew and the prohibition of mass socio-religious gatherings by the Federal Government in Lagos, Ogun, Kano States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and restriction orders by Governments in some States of the Federation, are still in force.

The IGP therefore enjoined all citizens to observe the celebrations bearing in mind the unusual times occasioned by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic as the Force will leave no stone unturned towards the due enforcement of the orders.
