Oyo Police beefs up security for Sallah .


To further assure residents of protection of life and property, the Commissioner of Police has directed massive deployment of special outfits such as the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Counter Terrorism Unit, Swift Response Squad, Explosive Ordinance Department, Safer Highway, Police Mobile Force, Highway Patrol and similar outfits to carry out visibility policing in form of intensive stop and search as well as purposeful vehicle patrol of every nook and cranny of the State.

The security arrangements will include adequate security coverage of praying grounds, recreation centres, financial institutions, public facilities and other vulnerable places across the state. This is to ensure that Muslim faithful and others celebrate the Eid-el-kabir without any hitch. 

While the command braces up for this challenge, criminals and other anti-social elements are sternly warned to leave the state or risk being arrested and prosecuted. Similarly, hoodlums and other agents of destabilization who may be nurturing sinister plans to cause breakdown of law and order are warned to desist from such evil plans in their own interests.

Citizens are enjoined to cooperate with the police by giving useful information that could help nip crimes in the bud. In the event of distress, members of the public can call the State Police Command Control Room Number 08081768614.
