The Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 4 Headquarters, Makurdi, AIG Dankombo Morris, has assured residents of Benue, Plateau, and Nasarawa States of adequate security arrangements ahead of the forthcoming Eid el-Kabir celebration.

The AIG reaffirmed the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to ensuring a peaceful, safe, and hitch-free festive period across the Zone, in line with the constitutional mandate of the Force to protect lives and property.

Morris directed the Commissioners of Police in the three states under the Zone to deploy comprehensive operational strategies and proactive security measures aimed at safeguarding residents, worship centres, recreational locations, highways, and other public spaces throughout the celebration period.

In a statement issued by the Zonal Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Ayo Oluwaseun Martins, on Tuesday, the AIG also charged officers and men of the zone to remain professional, civil, and responsive in the discharge of their duties.

The statement warned against all forms of unprofessional conduct, particularly extortion, harassment of motorists, and other unethical practices capable of undermining public confidence in the Police, especially along highways and major roads.

While felicitating with Muslim faithful and all residents of the zone on the occasion of the Eid el-Kabir celebration, Morris urged the public to remain vigilant, security-conscious, and law-abiding at all times.

He further encouraged citizens to promptly report suspicious persons, movements, or activities to the nearest police station or other relevant security agencies.

The AIG assured the public that the Nigeria Police Force, Zone 4 headquarters, Makurdi, remains fully prepared and committed to maintaining law and order before, during, and after the festive period.
