He advises Kogites:
– Be wary of strangers loitering around homes, businesses, and public places. Report anyone acting suspiciously to the nearest police station or via the control room numbers.
– Do not engage in or tolerate illegal gatherings, cult activities, or reckless behavior. A festive mood is no excuse for compromising peace.
– If you travel, drive safely and responsibly: inform your family of your route, avoid picking up strangers, ensure your vehicle is in good condition, obey road safety rules, and watch out for pedestrians, especially children and the elderly.
– Activate neighborhood watch programs. Work with community leaders and PCRC members to ensure joint vigilance. Do not leave homes unattended. Install security lights, and inform neighbors if you’ll be away.
The CP commended the people of Kogi State for their usual resilience and lawfulness. With these simple precautions, we will safeguard our families, friends, markets, churches, and roads. Let this Christmas be a season of hope, peace, and security! If you see something, contact the nearest police station immediately. Let’s collaborate together: information from citizens helps us prevent crimes. We are stronger when communities and police unite. Together, let’s make Kogi a crime-free Christmas and beyond.
Signed,
CSP William Ovye Aya
