The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Suleiman
Abba, CFR, NPM, NPOM, mni, in the light of
the Yuletide season and emerging security
challenges in parts of the country, hereby
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 celebration 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 rancor 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 all necessary measures in
ensuring the provision of adequate security
for worshippers, travellers, picnickers and all
citizens across the country before,
during, and after the season. 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,
highways, financial institutions and all places
of public resort are adequately and effectively
protected.
