SP Omolola Odutola, the State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), conveyed this directive in a statement released in Abeokuta on Monday.

The loud and unsettling noise generated by these explosives was reported to be disrupting the peace of mind and causing anxiety among residents, particularly amid prevailing security concerns.
In response, Commissioner of Police Abiodun Alamutu has officially imposed a ban on the unrestrained use of explosive fireworks in Ogun State.
The decision stems from the community’s struggle to differentiate between actual gunshots and the sounds produced by fireworks.
Odutola emphasized that the Commissioner has sternly warned young individuals against violating this directive, stating that offenders will face punishment in accordance with existing laws.
The primary objective is to maintain public safety and alleviate the distress caused by the misuse of fireworks during the festive season.
