Yuletide: IGP Deploys Personnel Nationwide for Security Measures

 

As the yuletide season approaches,, the inspector-general of police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has directed the deployment of police personnel to strategic locations nationwide to curb traffic congestion, highway robberies, and other criminal activities.

In a statement on Thursday, December 12, by the Force spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the IGP assured Nigerians that the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) had intensified measures to safeguard lives and property during the Yuletide period, which often sees increased travel and public gatherings.

Yuletide, celebrated from late December into the New Year, sees a surge in mobility, public gatherings, and commercial activities, often leading to heightened security challenges.

It typically spans from December 21 to January 1 (New Year’s Day), with the primary focus being on December 25 (Christmas Day).

According to the statement, major locations such as highways, urban centres, and recreational spots will witness heightened police presence.

The IGP emphasised that officers would be strategically positioned on roads prone to criminal activities, particularly highway robberies that typically surge during festive seasons.

“In line with the IGP’s commitment to ensuring public safety, the Nigeria Police Force has already made significant headway in combating these crimes. On the 10th of December 2024, police operatives attached to the Lagos State Command arrested four suspected robbers identified as Akeem Alabi ‘m’, Adewale Sogbesan ‘m’, Emmanuel Izeagbe ‘m’, and Francis Okoko ‘m’.
