…Felicitates with Nigerians
…Enjoins citizens to stay at home, stay safe and emulate Christ’s virtues
The Inspector General of Police, IGP Mohammed Adamu has directed the Commissioners of Police in States where the social restriction orders have been emplaced to continue with the due enforcement of the orders.
While felicitating with the Nigerian Christian community, as christendom commemorates the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the IGP calls on religious leaders in Lagos, Ogun and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) as well as other states affected by the restriction orders to continue to cooperate with relevant government agencies and use their leadership positions to encourage worshippers to observe prayers and worship programs in the confines of their homes.
He noted that the call had become necessary in order to curtail the community spread of the COVID-19 pandemic which had immensely challenged humanity across all spheres of life.
The IGP expressed deep concerns that for the first time in the annals of the nation’s history, circumstances had compelled government to emplace restrictions on social gatherings, which inevitably was also affecting religious programs of all faiths.
He therefore enjoined Nigerians to see the restrictions in the light of the symbolism of Easter which connotes sacrifice, tolerance, perseverance, love and ultimate triumph.
Meanwhile, the IGP reassured the citizenry that the Nigeria Police would remain steadfast and committed in the duty of ensuring public safety and security during the Easter period and beyond as he wished Nigerians happy Easter celebrations.
