Eid-el-Fitr: Police restrict vehicular movement in Borno

The Police in Borno State have restricted vehicular movement in Maiduguri as part of measures to ensure security during the Eid prayer.

A statement by the deputy spokesperson, Nahum Kenneth said the 7 am to 12 pm restriction would help the personnel protect residents.

The arrangement would cover all praying grounds, malls and recreational centres where large numbers of people are expected to gather.

Kenneth said there will be patrols/stop and search, show of force with other security agencies, intelligence and information gathering.

Also, safer highway patrol teams have been deployed to major highways to ensure security of travelers and commuters.

“The restriction, though regretted, will include the use of vehicles, tricycles and bicycles, except those on essential duties,” the PRO noted.

The police advised Muslim faithful to pray close to their homes and go early due to security screening.

Parents and guardians were asked to take proper care of them to avert incidents of missing children.
