Nguroje said the security arrangement involves personnel from various specialised units, including the Police Mobile Force, Counter Terrorism Unit, State Intelligence Department, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit, and other tactical divisions, all coordinated to ensure effective coverage across the state.
As part of the plan, security operatives have been deployed to sensitive locations such as Eid prayer grounds, Yola International Airport, major roads, markets, event centres, residential neighbourhoods, and other vulnerable areas to prevent any security lapses.

The statement added that the Commissioner of Police has directed all deployed personnel to act professionally, respect the rights of citizens, and remain approachable while carrying out their responsibilities.
Parents and guardians were also advised to keep a close watch on their children and discourage any form of misconduct during the festivities.
Residents were urged to stay alert and support security efforts by promptly reporting any suspicious activities or individuals.
The command reaffirmed its dedication to ensuring the safety of lives and property before, during, and after the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
