Mohammed, who authorised the special operations, revealed that the mission was to ensure the free flow of traffic during and after the Sallah celebrations.

He said: “To achieve this feat, the Corps has deployed operational equipment in the categories of Radar Guns, Breathalysers to put a check on drunk driving, operational logistics materials are also to be fully deployed for this exercise.
