THE Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, on Monday, declared Wednesday, as the day of Eid-Fitr and to make the celebration hitch-free, the Nigeria Police and other security agencies have deployed about 70,500 personnel across the nation.

The Sultan, who is the President General of Nigeria’s Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, said the decision followed the report of National Moon Sighting Committees across the country which confirmed the non-sighting of the new moon.

A statement signed by the Chairman of the Advisory Committee on Religious Affairs to the Sultanate Council, Prof Sambo Junaidu, made available to newsmen in Sokoto on Monday evening, said, “The council accepted the report and accordingly declared Wednesday, April 10, 2024, as the first day of Shawwal 1445AH.

“His Eminence, the Sultan felicitates with the Nigerian Muslim Ummah and wishes them Allah’s guidance and blessings.

“The Sultan, while urging the Muslim Ummah to continue to pray for peace, progress, and development of the country, also wishes all Muslims a happy Eid-El-Fitri.

“The crescent moon was not sighted in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, Eid Al Fitr will be celebrated on Wednesday, 10th April 2024.”

The Federal Government had declared today and tomorrow as a holiday for the celebration before the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia while announcing that the moon was not sighted, declared tomorrow as Eid-el-Fitr.

Meanwhile, to mark the 2024 Eid-el-Fitr celebrations across the country, security agencies, including the Police, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Federal Road Safety Corps, state security outfits and others have deployed personnel to protect worship centres, direct traffic and ensure a hitch-free event.

In preparation for a hitch-free celebration, the Commandant-General, NSCDC, Ahmed Audi, ordered the strategic deployment of over 40,000 personnel across the federation.

In a statement signed by the corps spokesperson, Babawale Afolabi, on Monday, the CG hinted that the corps would deploy both kinetic and non-kinetic approaches to nip in the bud all acts of criminalities before, during and after the Eid-el-Fitr celebration in various states of the nation.

“As the Holy month of Ramadan comes to a close, on behalf of the management and personnel of the NSCDC, it is my pleasure to congratulate all our Muslim brothers all over the nation wishing them a blessed, peaceful and joyful Eid-el-Fitr.

“This felicitation is with unwavering assurance that the celebration will go very smoothly and without any hitch as officers and men of the Corps would be deployed strategically in public places, Eid prayer grounds, shopping malls, markets, motor parks and various flashpoints across various formations and states of the federation.

“Notably, the State Commandants have been directed to deploy their personnel to strategic locations and flashpoints while ensuring strong collaborations with other sister security agencies and adequate supervision of their personnel for effective service delivery,” Audi was quoted to have said.

For the deployment at the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, the Commandant of the command, Olusola Odumosu, as contained in a statement signed by the command’s spokesperson, Samuel Idoko, deployed 5,000 personnel to cover all the nooks and crannies of the six Area Councils as well as the city centre, especially sensitive locations, soft targets, black spots and flashpoints.

He hinted that the command deployed all the special forces such as the Armed Squad, Female Strike Force, Intelligence, Counter Terrorism Unit, Special Crack Squad (operation Adaka-su), Intelligence and Agro Rangers to ensure the maintenance of law and order.
