Ekiti State Police Command has warned anyone without any legitimate business in the state to steer clear or face the full weight of the law if apprehended.
This came as tensions rose in the state, with mass arrests of those suspected to be perpetrating violence in the state.
Public Relations Officer of the Command, Mr Victor Babayemi in a statement said that the state Police Commissioner, Mr Taiwo Lakanu has warned those planning to cause crisis in the state to have a rethink.
“The State Police Command is in receipt of an intelligence report that some hooligans within the state and their accomplices outside the state are planning to wreak more havoc and disrupt further, the existing fragile peace in the state. Consequently, the Command has placed its men on red alert to prevent these bandits from carrying out their nefarious activities anywhere in the state.
“The Command has equally been empowered to enforce the dusk-to-dawn curfew; hence, residents are also warned to abide, very strictly, with this order,” Lakanu advised.
Force Public Relations Officer, Ag. CP Emmanuel Ojukwu confirmed the mass arrest of hoodlums in the state.
“We have obviously made some arrests but I cannot give you more details on that. They will be taken to court tomorrow (today),” he said.
He added that the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in-charge of Zone 11 has taken charge and more mobile policemen have been drafted to the state to ensure security of lives and property.
