Eid-el-Fitr: Police plan visibility patrols in Bauchi

The Bauchi State Police Command has announced plans to intensify visibility patrols during the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.

The command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Ahmed Wakil, disclosed the plan in a press release issued on Saturday on behalf of the command’s Commissioner of Police, Sani-Omolori Aliyu.

Wakil noted that the Commissioner of Police has directed all Area Commanders, Tactical Commanders, and Divisional Police Officers to maintain heightened visibility patrols in areas identified as black spots or flashpoints within their respective areas of responsibility.

“It is essential to convey a message to individuals considering disruptions to the procession: it is advised to reconsider their actions. They are encouraged to either participate in the festivities, approach the Police for rehabilitation, or face appropriate legal consequences for any unlawful actions.

“The Command urges citizens to promptly report any suspicious activities to the nearest Police Station for immediate response. Additionally, citizens may submit complaints via the Police Rescue Me App or contact emergency numbers 08151849417 and 09053872273.”

He maintained that the personnel remain steadfast in the commitment to providing a safe and secure environment for all citizens during the festive season. The statement extends warm greetings to the Muslim community on the occasion of the 1446AH/2025 Eid-el-Fitr celebration, signifying the conclusion of the Ramadan fasting period.

“Under the distinguished leadership of Commissioner of Police, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu, the command is dedicated to implementing robust security measures and ensuring a conducive environment for prayer across the State. The safety of lives and property remains the highest priority for the Police.

“To achieve this objective, the Command has established extensive security protocols, including the deployment of mufti-uniformed personnel for intelligence gathering. These officers will report to the Command’s central control room to preemptively address any potential threats to peace and security both before and during the festive period, “he revealed.
