The Nigerian Police Force has asked
Nigerians to be vigilant in collecting gifts
during this yuletide season as members of
terror group, Boko Haram could attack using
Explosive Laden Hampers. The advice was
contained in a statement released on their
website today. Find it after the cut...
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.
