Heading to Eid prayers or travelling for Sallah? The police say they've got you covered — but they’re also asking you to keep your eyes peeled.

So, here’s the gist, according to cbinews.tv — the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, isn’t taking any chances this Eid-el-Kabir. He’s ordered police officers and all the gear they need to fan out across Nigeria to make sure everyone can celebrate Sallah in peace.

In a statement on Wednesday, Force PRO DCP Anthony Placid shared the IGP’s Sallah greetings to Muslims nationwide. He also doubled down on the Force’s promise: keeping lives and property safe is top priority during the festivities.

What does that actually look like? Well, Commissioners of Police and Tactical Commanders in every state plus the FCT have been told to step things up. We’re talking more boots on the ground and a lot more proactive policing.

cbinews.tv reports that tactical teams, intelligence operatives and your regular officers will be posted to Eid prayer grounds, highways, motor parks, parks, and basically anywhere crowds are expected to gather.

On top of that, expect to see more visible policing — think coordinated patrols, surveillance, and those intelligence-led stop-and-search operations. The idea is to scare off troublemakers and jump on any threats quickly.

The IGP also had a word for the rest of us: stay alert and help out. If you see something odd — a suspicious person, package, or just weird activity around busy spots — speak up. According to him, public cooperation is key to keeping the peace.

Bottom line from cbinews.tv: the police are promising a solid security presence nationwide and say they’re fully committed to law and order throughout the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
