“The use, sale, and distribution of fireworks, bangers, and other explosive devices remain strictly prohibited. These items can cause panic, trigger false alarms, and serve as a cover for criminal activities. Offenders will be arrested and prosecuted.

The Police boss in a statement signed by Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi,
