Abuja – The Police High Command Monday joined
other security agencies in calling on Nigerians to be
security conscious and vigilant during the Yuletide
season and warned all citizens to be extra alert
while receiving gifts from unknown persons that may pose as friends during the season, to avoid
explosive-laden hampers as gifts.

Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase who
gave the warning in a statement, also cautioned
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.

The statement signed by Force Public Relations
officer, Acting ACP Olabisi Kolawole said, “He
(IGP) also enjoined 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, travelers,
picnickers and all citizens across the country before, during, and after the celebration” She
said.

“Command Commissioners of Police are to
personally ensure that all key and vulnerable
points within their jurisdictions, including places of
worship, recreation centre’s, motor parks,
shopping malls, highways, financial institutions and
all places of public resorts are adequately and effectively protected.”
