The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Kano State Command, has deployed over 3,400 personnel across the state to ensure security before, during, and after the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
The State Commandant, Hassan Mohammed Agalama, disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Ibrahim Idris Abdullahi, noting that the deployment is part of proactive measures to guarantee peaceful festivities and protect critical national assets.
According to him, operatives have been strategically positioned at Eid praying grounds, recreational centres, markets, motor parks, and other vulnerable public locations across Kano State.
“We have deployed over 3,400 personnel across the state as part of proactive measures to ensure a peaceful and hitch-free Eid-el-Fitr celebration,” Agalama said.
He added that special attention had been given to the protection of critical infrastructure, including power installations, water facilities, telecommunication masts, and other government assets.
Agalama said intelligence and surveillance units had been strengthened, while rapid response teams were placed on high alert to address emergencies.
“Our operatives have been strategically stationed at Eid grounds, markets, motor parks, and other public places, while rapid response teams are on standby to respond promptly to any security threat,” he added.
The commandant further stated that the corps would continue to work closely with other security agencies to maintain law and order throughout the festive period.
He urged residents to remain vigilant, cooperate with security operatives, and report any suspicious movements to the appropriate authorities.
He also advised parents and guardians to caution their wards against engaging in unlawful acts during the celebrations.
The commandant reassured residents of the corps’ commitment to safeguarding lives and property, urging them to celebrate the Eid peacefully and responsibly.
