Delta CP Bans Fireworks, Other Pyrotechnics During Yuletide

-

 

As part of measures to ensure a safe and peaceful Yuletide season, the Commissioner of Police Delta State, CP Olufemi Abaniwonda has announced that the ban on fireworks is still in force and that the command will be enforcing it strictly, which includes a ban on the use,  sale, and display of pyrotechnics, including fireworks and firecrackers known as ‘knock-out’, and ‘banger.’

This decision comes as part of ongoing efforts to prevent and reduce crime as experience shows that criminally minded persons can take advantage of this to unleash terror on law-abiding residents.

On that note, parents and guardians are advised to caution their children and wards to desist from using these items, and retailers are equally warned to withdraw from the display and sale of these products, as anyone found wanting will be arrested and prosecuted.

To this end, the CP has directed all Area Commanders, Divisional Police officers, and Tactical Commanders to monitor strict compliance and address any violations within their respective Areas of Responsibility.

Furthermore, the CP appreciates the cooperation of Deltans in upholding this ban, and citizens are enjoined to always report incidents of the use or sale of fireworks to the nearest police station or by calling the command control room numbers: 08036684974, 08114895600, 08025666914.
