The Ogun state commander
of Vigilante Group of Nigeria, Mr. Adedoyin Olanrewaju Nureni have assured
citizens of Ogun State that there is no cause for alarm throughout the Eid-El Fitri
period as the command have deployed not more than five personnel to each place
of worship across the state.
Mr. Adedoyin made this
known today when speaking with our reporter in Abeokuta, the state capital,
where he said there is maximum security for members of the public during and
after the period of the celebration.
In his words, he said “I want
to assure the members of Ogun state that Vigilante Group of Nigeria, Ogun state
chapter have instructed all our men to be on security alert. And we have also
deployed all our men throughout the 20-local governments in the state to all
worship places, particularly Mosques to make sure that they are on alert to
make peace reign across the state during and after the celebration of Eid-El Fitri.
“Also we have told them to
monitor every market places across the state, because during this period,
people go to market to buy themselves what they need for the celebration, so we
don’t want harm for them. We have deployed at least five personnel to each
Mosque in the state and we have mobilized them to make sure that there is no
problem.
While congratulating the
Islamic members, the Commander said “I want to congratulate all Muslim brothers
and sisters worldwide, you know it is not easy to fast for one day, let alone
thirty-days. I want to congratulate them for the successful completion of the
fasting.”
The Commander also gave
his advice to the general public, saying “My advice to the members of the
public, particularly those who have fasted throughout the thirty-days is to
imbibe the doctrine of the religious, and become more righteous. The more righteous
they are, the more peaceful co-existence they become.
“Secondly, I want to let
them know that religious must not cause division in the country because if we
allow division, it will damage the development we are expecting or the once we
have experienced in the state, as well as in the country.
He also urged members of
the public to supply the command with useful information about perpetrators of
evil acts in their communities as the lives and properties of citizens is
paramount to them, the VGN, saying “the more useful information they give us,
the more active we become.”
