Osogbo, June 13, 2024 (NAN) The Western Nigeria Security Network (Amotekun Corps) Osun Command, has assured residents of security of lives and property during and after the 2024 Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
Brig.-Gen. Bashir Adewinmbi, State Commander, Amotekun Corps, gave the assurance in a statement on Thursday in Osogbo.
He said that there was no cause for alarm as the operatives of the corps were on red alert in all the local government of the state to ensure a hitch-free Eid el Kabir celebration.
He warned officers and men of the Corps to ensure strict adherence to the extant rules of engagement and guard against acts capable of tarnishing the image of the agency.
“As directed by Gov. Ademola Adeleke for hitch-free sallah celebration in the state, I have directed Area Commanders, Local Government Commanders, and Operational Units of the command to deploy all operational and intelligence assets at their disposal.
“They are to effectively protect their areas of responsibilities and ensure smooth celebrations during and after Eid-el-Adha festivities.
“I entreat all and sundry to celebrate responsibly and peacefully as well as call on Muslims Ummah to use the period to pray for the peace and progress of Osun State and Nigeria at large,” Adewinmbi said
The corps commander urged residents to reawaken and genuinely demonstrate the true nature of Prophet Mohammed, which is exemplified by his love and selflessness.
He also called on residents to remain supportive, law-abiding, and vigilant, while promptly reporting acts of crime and criminality to the nearest Amotekun command and other security agencies. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
