The Police Command in Jigawa has said the ban on the use of fireworks, bangers and other explosives during festivities is still in force.

Abdu Jinjiri, Superintendent of Police, spokesman for the command, made this known during an interview with newsmen in Dutse on Saturday.

He, therefore, urged parents and guardians to advise their children and wards to refrain from the use of such explosives.
