The Ogun State Community, Social Orientation and Safety Corps, also known as So-Safe Corps, has urged residents to be security-conscious as Easter celebrations begin across the state.

In a statement, the Corps Director of Information and Public Relations, Mr Adegunwa Adegbuyi, advised the public to prioritise safety during the festive period, which is usually characterised by increased travel, social gatherings and religious activities.

The Corps noted that many families are expected to travel during the period and cautioned commuters to patronise only trusted transport services. 

Mr Adegbuyi stressed the need for motorists to exercise patience on the roads, as traffic volume is expected to increase and warned against speeding, dangerous overtaking and other forms of reckless driving.

The statement also advised residents to be cautious during late-night celebrations, especially in unfamiliar areas, and to avoid isolated or poorly lit routes at night.

Mr Adegbuyi said the Corps has intensified patrols, expanded surveillance and deployed personnel to strategic locations and religious centres across the state. 

He emphasised that security was a collective responsibility and called on community leaders, youth groups and residents to support security efforts by providing timely information.

The statement also extended Easter greetings to Christians in Ogun State, assuring residents of its commitment to ensuring a safe and incident-free celebration.
