The Sokoto State Police Command has strengthened security measures to ensure public safety before, during, and after the 2025 Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
Commissioner of Police Ahmed Musa has instructed all Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers (DPOs), and tactical commanders to enhance intelligence gathering and conduct raids on identified black spots to prevent potential security threats.
In a statement on Friday, the command’s spokesman, DSP Ahmed Rufai, announced that CP Musa has approved the deployment of operational assets, including anti-riot water cannons, strategically positioned patrol vehicles, and stationed police personnel at key locations to bolster security and maintain law and order.
“Additionally, patrol vehicles will be strategically positioned, and police personnel will be stationed at key locations to enhance visibility policing.
“The command will also conduct stop-and-search operations at all entry and exit points in collaboration with other security agencies to ensure comprehensive security coverage,” the statement read.
In his goodwill message to Muslim faithful in Sokoto, CP Musa urged residents to remain law-abiding and embrace tolerance, regardless of religious or ethnic differences.
He also called for public vigilance: “Residents are encouraged to be vigilant, supervise their wards, and report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station or security outfit.
For a swift response, the police command has made its “emergency hotline 08032345167 available for immediate assistance.”
Reaffirming the command’s “commitment to maintaining peace and security,” CP Musa assured citizens that officers would remain on high alert throughout the “Eid-Fitr celebrations and beyond.”
