The Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Paul Odama has ordered an all-round security emplacement across the length and breadth of Kwara State for a rancour-free May 29, 2023, inauguration.
To this end, policemen and women, attached to special forces and tactical units, including conventional officers, have been deployed to patrol the towns and major streets and all government facilities in the state to forestall any breakdown of law and order.
This is contained in a statement issued by the command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Okasanmi Ajayi.
According to the statement, “The citizens must have noticed movements of security patrols in the state in the course of the week, especially in Baruten Local Government Area and Kwara Central; this is part of the arrangements on the ground to ensure no act of criminality is allowed. The patrol would be sustained for tighter security of the lives and property of the citizens and residents of all parts of Kwara State”.
The command assures Kwara State citizens of “their safety before, during, and after the inauguration ceremony,” the statement added.
It also states that motorized and foot patrols by security forces led by the police will be a common sight in the state from now on; as such, the people are advised not to panic and to be law-abiding.
