Ogbebor said regular and special marshals were deployed across the three senatorial districts of the state for surveillance and intelligence gathering.
“Rigorous patrol would be sustained along highways to ensure compliance to all road safety rules and regulations.
“Officers would be deployed to all Eid praying ground, recreation centers, and strategic locations to ensure a peaceful celebration,” he said.
