Easter: Police IG Orders AIGs, CPs to Beef up Security

The Inspector General of Police, IG, Solomon Arase has directed all Zonal Assistant Inspectors General of Police AIGs and State Command Commissioners of Police to take all necessary measures in ensuring the provision of adequate security for worshippers, travelers, picnickers and all citizens across the country before, during and after the festive season.
A statement signed by the Force Spokesperson, Olabisi Kolawole, Assistant Commissioner of Police, stated that 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.
While urging Nigerians to emulate and adopt the selfless lifestyle of Christ, the IG enjoined them to be open minded to issues of forgiveness, peace and harmonious co-existence, in consonance with the principles and teachings of Christ, especially, in this trying moment in the history of our dear country.
 He equally urged worshippers at Church services to make conscious effort to know fellow members of their congregation, as this will make it easier to know who is a stranger in their midst.
He reiterated the need for worshippers to be security alert and report all suspicious characters and observations to the Police.
 The IG advised operators of motor parks, shopping malls and recreational centres to work very closely with the Police and other security agencies as they strive to strengthen general security in their respective facilities.
While commending Nigerians for their patience, understanding and cooperation with the Police in the fight against crime and criminality, Arase enjoined them to continue to support the Force with useful information that will effectively assist the Police in tracking down undesirable elements in the society.

He sued for peace from all Nigerians, irrespective of their religious, political and socio-cultural leaning.
