The police in Kano have appealed to Muslim worshippers going to pray at the Eid praying grounds to avoid carrying unnecessary objects that may trigger suspicions or apprehension among fellow worshippers.
A statement by the Kano State Police spokesman, Abbdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, Friday, charged worshippers across the state to be vigilant and to report any suspicious person, movement or item to the nearest police station.
The command equally warned that under-aged children and unlicensed persons were not allowed to drive their motor vehicles, tricycles and motorcycles to the praying grounds and to places of visit during the festivity.
“Road users are warned to desist from reckless driving and dangerous driving,” the statement added.
“Parents and guardians should always accompany their children with adults while going to the praying grounds to checkmate cases of missing children, accidents or any unsolicited dealings: said the statement.
