The Minister of Police Affairs, Alhaji Muhammad Dingyadi, has called on Nigerians to reflect on the ethos of Eid-el-Kabir celebration for greater internal security in the country.

Mr Osaigbovo Ehisienmen, the Press Secretary to the minister disclosed this in a statement on Monday in Abuja, made available to Nigerian NewsDirect.

He expressed the need for citizens’ ownership of security endeavours, adding that the place of sacrifice exemplified in Eid-el-Kabir celebration could not be over-emphasised in the quest to build a secure Nigeria.
