Agboola said the end of the year usually witnesses a lot of criminal activities, hence, the need for all personnel to be on their toes to smoke out criminally–minded people who are hell-bent on frustrating the peace and tranquility enjoyed by the residents of the state.

He instructed the Area Commanders to make sure that their deployment covers all recreation centers, worship centers, shopping malls, motor parks, critical national assets and infrastructure.

He noted that the patrol teams and surveillance squads will be fully deployed throughout celebrations, assuring the citizens of a secured state during and after the festive period.

He also appealed to members of the public to assist security agencies by providing intelligence that could lead to the arrest of men of the underworld, adding that security is everybody’s business.
