The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Solomon E. Arase, fdc, NPM, in view
of the Yuletide season and the security challenges in the country,
warns all citizens to be vigilant while receiving gifts from unknown
persons that may pose as friends during the season, to avoid
explosive-laden hampers as gifts.
The Inspector-General of Police also cautions against the use of
fireworks such as knockout, “bangers” and other explosives in the
celebrations as they could cause distraction that may further heighten
fear of insecurity.
He also enjoins citizens to shun all forms of
violence and unlawful acts, eschew bitterness, hatred and rancour and go
about their legitimate duties without fear of intimidation from any
quarter during and after the season.
Meanwhile, to ensure a peaceful and incident-free Yuletide, the IGP has
directed all Zonal AIGs and Command Commissioners of Police, to take
necessary measures in ensuring the provision of adequate security for
worshippers, travellers, picnickers and all citizens across the country
before, during, and after the celebration. Command Commissioners of
Police are to personally ensure that all key and vulnerable points
within their jurisdictions, including places of worship, recreation
centres, motor parks, shopping malls, highways, financial institutions
and all places of public resorts are adequately and effectively
protected.
