The Enugu State Commissioner of Police CP Ahmed Ammani has congratulated the people of the State, particularly the Christian faithful, as they join others in the country and beyond to mark this Year’s Easter Celebration of the death, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ.
According to a press release on Thursday, 6th April 2023 signed by the Enugu State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, said that the CP reassures them of the provision of adequate security and safety of citizens during and beyond the period of the celebration.
Accordingly, the CP has directed Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers (DPOs), and Heads of Tactical/Operational Units of the Command to deploy all operational and intelligence assets at their disposal, to effectively police their areas of responsibilities and ensure smooth celebrations during and after the Easter season. He warns them to ensure that personnel under them stick to the Nigeria Police Force’s extant rules of engagement and guard against acts of unprofessionalism; noting that they will be held vicariously liable for any lapse(s).
The Commissioner, while entreating all and sundry to celebrate responsibly and peacefully, has called on Christians to use the period to pray for the peace and progress of Enugu State and Nigeria. He urges them to reawaken and genuinely express the true nature of Jesus Christ, which is exemplified by his love and selflessness.
