The Lagos State Government on Thursday said it has put in place adequate security measures toward ensuring hitch-free celebration of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir.
According to Lagos State’s Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, while speaking to newsmen after the monthly Security Council Meeting held on Thursday and chaired by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, he stated that security personnel have been mobilized to be at strategic places such as praying grounds, amusement parks, malls, among others.
Owoseni said the Council appraised the security strategies already put in place for the celebration and members were satisfied with the solid arrangement towards a successful celebration.
“We looked at all the strategies that have been put in place by all the security agencies and the support that the State Government is giving us and we are satisfied that we are well prepared to ensure that residents of Lagos have hitch-free holiday period and that the Muslim brothers and sisters also have a successful and hitch-free Eid-el-Kabir holiday.
“Security agencies will be at all the strategic places including the Eid-el-Kabir praying ground, amusement parks and the malls so that by the time we are ending the holiday and the Sallah is finished, everybody will be happy to say that it is another successful holiday and it is another successful Eid-el-Kabir celebration,” the CP said.
