Eid-ul-Adha: Security high in zongos
The Ghana Police Service has announced that there will be “adequate measures to ensure an incident-free” celebration of this year’s Eid-ul-Adha.
Director of Public Affairs at the Ghana Police Service, DSP Sheilla Kessie Abayie-Buckman, said in a statement on Monday, 20 August 2018 that: “Police patrols and presence shall be intensified at the Independence Square on Tuesday, 21 August 2018, for the climax of the National Muslim Prayers”.
The law enforcement agency said some road will be closed in the capital and encouraged motorists to use alternative routes.
The police also pleaded with Muslims to celebrate in moderation.
“As the police strengthens security especially in the various Muslim communities, durbars, beaches and places where celebrations are highly concentrated, the Ghana Police Service entreats all jubilant youth, especially motorcycle display riders to stick to the traffic ruled and regulations and be considerate in their celebrations,” the statement added.
