Eid-el-Fitr: IG assures Nigerians of adequate security

The Inspector-General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun, has assured all citizens and residents in the country that the Nigeria Police Force has taken proactive measures to ensure the safety and security of every individual during the Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
While facilitating Muslims on the Eid-el-Fitr, Egbetokun urged the general public to adhere to security measures.
The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, made this known in a statement on Monday.
Adejobi stated, “The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, extends warm felicitations to the entire Muslim Ummah in the country as they prepare to celebrate the upcoming Eid-el-Fitr, marking the conclusion of the holy month of Ramadan.
“In the bid to ensure the safety and security of all citizens, the IGP reaffirms ongoing efforts to combat crime and enhance public safety nationwide as Commissioners of Police (CPs) and Tactical Commanders across all states, as well as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), along with their supervisory Assistant Inspectors General of Police (AIGs), have been tasked to intensify security measures in anticipation of the Eid-el-Fitr festivities.”
Adejobi added that Egbetokun has ordered the deployment of officers to Eid Prayer Grounds and recreational centres in order to assure citizens of the force commitment to ensure safety during the Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
“The IGP has directed supervisory AIGs and their respective CPs to ensure the thorough deployment of officers and resources to critical locations, particularly Eid Prayer Grounds and recreational centers, in order to instill confidence among citizens and fun seekers alike.
“Furthermore, the IGP has charged officers and men of the Force to conduct comprehensive assessments of areas prone to threats, implement rigorous stop-and-search procedures, conduct raids on identified black spots, and employ other anti-crime strategies aimed at maintaining peace and ensuring public safety throughout the country,” he added.
The IGP, however, urged security personnel to be professional while discharging their duties.
“The IG has cautioned deployed personnel to remain vigilant and respect citizens’ fundamental rights as they fulfill their duties with utmost decorum and alertness.
“The IGP also charges members of the public to be law-abiding, adhere to security tips and respect law enforcement agents deployed at strategic locations for the protection of lives and property, and general public safety across the country.
“The Inspector General of Police has urged the Muslim faithful to celebrate and embrace the spirit of the occasion while remaining vigilant and reporting all suspicious activities and persons to the police. The IGP extends warm wishes to all Muslims for a joyous and peaceful Sallah celebration,” the statement added.
On Sunday, the Federal Government declared Tuesday and Wednesday, April 9 and 10, 2024, as public holidays to mark the Eid-el-Fitr celebration while urging Muslims to imbibe and practise the virtues that entail kindness, love, tolerance, peace, good neighbourliness, and compassion, as exemplified by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him).

“Nigeria Only Belongs To Hausa and Yoruba” – Fayose Declared; Netizens React

Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, has sparked nationwide controversy after declaring that Nigeria belongs only to the Hausa and Yoruba ethnic groups.
In a viral video making the rounds on social media, Fayose dismissed the long-standing belief that Nigeria’s unity rests on a tripod of Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba.
He claimed that the Igbos have been marginalized and not counted among the country’s dominant groups.
He stated: “They said Nigeria belongs to Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba, but that’s a lie… take out that Igbo, stop including them because it’s a lie.”
The remarks have triggered widespread backlash, with many Nigerians accusing him of promoting ethnic hatred and fueling disunity.
Others, however, agreed with his statement, describing it as “an honest truth” about Nigeria’s politics.
Netizens Reactions…
@olaoluwasunnyman reacted: “Honest truth.”
@chefnoka said: “History will never forget you, brother. I’m not Igbo, but I love the way you speak and stand for the truth. We need it to move this nation forward.”
@newbilliy commented: “I’m Yoruba but an Igbo President will make Nigeria great. I love Igbo people and their business mindset.”
@beautyjunctiongh wrote: “God bless you, my brother, for saying the truth.”
@benedictoguama asked: “Where is Jonathan from?”
@daveiyke_donnegro stated: “@isaacfayoseoriginal_ God bless you Sir for speaking the truth. I wish other Nigerians can shun tribalism and unite for the progress of Nigeria. Tribalism us a tool against Nigerians and the unity of Nigeria. Politicians have weaponized tribalism which enables them thrive in continued political and socioeconomic incompetence.”
@realtundr4 added: “I agree with what you said, sir, but look at it, does igbo really have d right candidate? Obi is just chameleon to me he’s not real, neither do they have the leadership experience as our current president @officialasiwajubat, the one and only politician that have ever created more millionaires and successful individual in the whole nation. Make we leave hatred, JAGABAN na baba.”
@wellingtonisgreat commented: “@wellingtonisgreat said: “Nigeria belongs to everybody not hausa, yoruba, igbo, Benin have not been president before let us go? You dey talk anyhow.”
@richeart4u said: “Those that have been president, were they given free or charge? Was there a law that stopped Igbo man from being a president? How do people become a president? Or do you mean Igbo have never been allowed to contest for presidency? Same things goes to women too, why are women not hugely represented in all positions even presidency? No one is stopping anyone from becoming anything, you just have to change your strategy and alignment. You can’t be doing same thing over the years and not get the desired result and still want to stick to that failed pattern to achieve a new result. Igbo people and their candidate must be encompassing. Hausa has been aligning more to Igbo people to get whatever position they wanted and why are they not returning the favour hugely? Align to anyone that can boost your change of winning and be well accommodating and understanding the power of choices and politicking. I might be wrong 0000. Na ma small knowledge I take respond oooo.”

TRENDING VIDEO: Health minister collapsed during press conference

Health challenges affect everyone, regardless of their social status or position in society.
These issues can arise unexpectedly and often catch individuals off guard, emphasizing the importance of proactive health measures and proper care.
This reality serves as a crucial lesson for political stakeholders and those in public office.
Elisabet Lann, the new swedish health minister, made a dramatic debut as she collapsed on her first day on the job during a press conference.
As reported by The Straits Times, Lann had joined Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and other political colleagues at the media briefing on Tuesday, September 9, the same day she was appointed to the role following the sudden resignation of her predecessor.
CNN also noted the scary moment.
Videos, which have gone viral on social media, show Lann swaying while officials are taking questions from reporters.
Following the collapse, Ebba Busch, the deputy prime minister of Sweden, was seen assisting Lann, who was later able to stand and address the media.
Lann told reporters, according to Swedish daily Aftonbladet.
“This wasn’t really a normal Tuesday, and this is what can happen when you have low blood sugar.”
