The Zamfara Police Command congratulated the state’s Christian community on Christmas and New Year’s celebrations and asked for prayers for peace in the country.
Mr Kolo Yusuf, the state Police Commissioner, made the call in a statement issued by the Police Spokesperson, SP Muhammad Shehu, on Monday in Gusau.
The CP urged Christians to use the period to offer special prayers for sustainable peace, stability, and development in Zamfara and our dear country.
According to Yusuf, security measures have been put in place to safeguard lives and property during and after the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
“A massive deployment of police personnel and other security agencies to all churches, recreational centres, and other vulnerable places has been made to ensure peaceful celebrations in the state.”
“The CP personally embarked on confidence-building patrols of major highways in the state, especially the Gusau-Mafara-Sokoto road.
“The patrol is aimed at ensuring the safety and security of commuters and other road users,” the statement said.
The Police Commissioner charged Area, Tactical Commanders, and Divisional Officers to adopt the same strategy in their various environments.
