This would not be a good news to those who were
preparing to celebrate the end of Ramadan fast
tomorrow Friday July 17 in Kaduna state as the state
Police Command has placed ban on all forms of social
activities at parks, events and recreation centres.
This ban is coming on the heel of a security alert by the state
security outfit, code-named ‘Operation Yaki’ that the state
might come under attacked on Sallah day by terror group,
known as ‘Surasuka’ or ‘Masushara’, The Punch reports.
Col Yakubu Yusuf(retd.), the coordinator of the outfit, said
security operatives had been placed on a high alert, but
cautioned residents to be vigilant during the period.
He warned residents against accommodating or harbouring
strange fellows as the Boko Haram terror group had
changed their tactics of attacks.
This revelation was made by the state commissioner of
police, Umar Shehu, while speaking to newsmen in Kaduna
saying places where fun seekers normally gathered for
relaxation in the state like Gamji Gate Amusement Park,
Galaxy Park and others would be closed down during the
celebration.
Shehu said: “Praying in Eid Ground is a sign of ending the
Ramadan and after the prayer, it is expected that everybody
returns back to his house.
“We have banned all social gathering and all operators of
such centers have been instructed to lock up the venue
because of the present security situation in the country and
anybody who violates the order, will be arrested.
“The state command also wishes to inform the residents that
operation order/strategies to checkmate activities of
criminal have been put in place.
“The command has deployed both conventional and mobile
policemen as well as undercover operatives to man and
monitor vulnerable points with a view to ensuring tight
security across the state.
“The command urges parents/guardians to be vigilant,
monitor and warn their children/wards and not allow them
to be used by mischief makers.
“More so, use of okada/street begging and hawking are still
in force, all in the bid to ensure that Kaduna residents have
a crime and violence free Eid-El Fitr celebration .”
The Emir of Zazzau, who is also the Chairman of Kaduna
State Council of Traditional Rulers, Alhaji Shehu Idris, has
also cancelled the traditional Durbar that’s usually held after
the Sallah prayers..
