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.
