As the Christmas Celebration Approaches.
The operational strategy includes the sectorizing of Abia State which encompasses a visible police presence on major roads, various places of worship and event centres. Additionally, there will be raids on recognized high-risk areas, unfinished structures, stop-and-search operations, vehicular/foot patrols, and collaborative efforts among sister security agencies in the state. This concerted effort aims at ensuring a smooth and secure festive period for the inhabitants of Abia State before, during, and after the Christmas celebration.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Danladi Isa emphatically restates the ban on the sale or use of fireworks (knockouts) in the State, citing potential threats to public peace and security.

Hence, parents and guardians should counsel their children/wards against the sale or use of firecrackers (knockouts) for the overall safety of the community.
