YULETIDE SECURITY: ENUGU CP REAFFIRMS BAN ON FIREWORKS, WARNS AGAINST HARMATTAN BUSH BURNING


The Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Command, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, psc, has reaffirmed the ban on the sale and unauthorized use of fireworks, commonly called “knockouts” or “bangers”, across Enugu State during the yuletide season and beyond. The measure is aimed at preventing criminals from exploiting fireworks, minimizing public panic, and safeguarding lives and property.


Individuals and businesses involved in the sale or use of fireworks are urged to desist immediately, as violators will face the full weight of the law. Parents and guardians are also advised to caution their children and wards against purchasing or using fireworks.


CP Giwa further warns against bush burning during the harmattan season, stressing that such acts pose serious risks of fire outbreaks capable of endangering lives, destroying property, and disrupting community life. Offenders will be duly prosecuted.


Residents are encouraged to remain law-abiding, vigilant, and cooperative with the Police to ensure a safe and peaceful festive season. Suspicious persons and criminal activities should be reported to the nearest Police Station or to the Command via 08032003702 or 08086671202; and the Enugu State Command-and-Control Centre on 112, 09134666668, or 09134448093.
