The spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, Mr. Samuel
Jinadu, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria
in Lagos.
Jinadu said the command had mobilised all area commands and
divisions for effective policing duty during the Yuletide.
He said that due to the importance attached to the season, the
Commissioner of Police, Mr. Yakubu Alkali, did not approve leave
for any officer, "so as to have enough men on ground."
He said Amoured Personnel Carriers and plain clothes officers had
been deployed in black spots, recreational and event centres.
Jinadu said the ban on fireworks was still in force and that
anybody caught with bangers would be arrested and prosecuted.
He advised commercial motorcyclists to always be vigilant in their
areas of operation in order to detect suspected criminals hiding
under the guise of being motorcyclists.
