The
Commissioner of Police, Delta State, Mr. Adeleke Adeyinka
has
announced that the ban on the use of fireworks is still in force and that the State
Police Command will enforce all the extant laws prohibiting the use of
fireworks such as “knock-out,” “banger” etc.
A
statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, Onome Onovwakpyeya, a Deputy
Superintendent of Police said the CP noted that the ban is necessary to
safe-guard public safety and avoid distractions to security operatives,
especially during the yuletide season.
“Parents/guardians
are advised to guide their children and wards appropriately as anyone arrested
will be prosecuted according to the law,” the statement said.
Onovwakpyeya
said the CP also assured Deltans of their safety at all times and called on
them to continue to support the police and other security agencies in their
untiring efforts at providing a peaceful and secure environment for the people.
