Mr Shehu said the deployment would help ensure adequate safety of lives and property, as well as accident-free roads across the state during the Eid-el-Kabir Sallah celebrations.

He also directed the personnel to be proactive and respond to emergencies promptly during the period.

He further directed the personnel to work in synergy and collaboration with sister security agencies to achieve a hitch-free Eid-el-Kabir celebration.

Mr Shehu also urged the general public to obey the traffic rules and regulations to support the command in achieving its mandate.

“Road safety is a collective responsibility. I appeal to all residents of the state to remain law-abiding,” he said.

He wished all the Muslim ummah and Muslim faithful a happy and peaceful Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
