The Commissioner of Police in a statement signed by the Image Maker of the Command, DSP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, and made available to NEWS PLATFORM on Sunday, said that the order is compliance with the IGPs directives.

CP Olugbega Adeyanju, further enjoined citizens to cooperate with the Police in the enforcement in the order which is aimed at ensuring safety of lives and property in the state.
