This was made known in a statement released to newsmen by the sector command’s Public Relations Officer, Abdullahi Labaran, where he noted that the initiative is in anticipation of the high volume of human and vehicular traffic associated with the Sallah celebrations and aims to ensure a hitch-free festive period.

“The objective of this special operation is to enhance the Corps’ visibility on highways across Kano through the early deployment of personnel and logistics to reduce road traffic crashes across the state,” the statement reads.

Labaran further added that the special patrol will ensure strict enforcement of road traffic laws and regulations, prompt rescue and response to distress calls as well as speedy removal of obstructions from the highways, among others.

While wishing the people a peaceful and hitch-free Sallah celebration, the sector commander urged all road users to comply with traffic regulations to ensure a safe and joyous Eid-el-Kabir.

It was also gathered that mobile courts would be deployed to handle infractions related to road traffic crashes during the period.
