Caution: CP, Dibal Yakadi Advised, People Shouldn’t Accept Wrapped Gifts from Strangers

The Commissioner of Police While in Niger today call on Nigerians to be careful of accepting wrapped gifts from unfamiliar people during this Christmas season and  New Year celebration.

Dibal Yakadi in an interview at Minna said such gifts could turn out to be parcel bombs and be dangerous if opened.  The Commissioner of Police also urged the people to be security conscious, especially while attending public functions during and after festivities.  He made it known that the command had already taken proactive security measures to deal with threats to peace before, during and after the Yuletide. 

‘‘We will continue to utilise the avenues of intelligence-led policing, community, visibility policing as well as constant intelligence-led raid on criminal hideouts,’’ he said. 

CP, Dibal call on everyone to do their best in providing useful information on suspicious movements of people, saying this would assist security officials to apprehend criminals at the planning stages of their activities.  “We are battle ready to deal with any form of security threats to enable people to celebrate peacefully’’.

He also urged officers and men of the command to continue to put in their best as hard working ones would be rewarded, while the indolent personnel would be sanctioned accordingly.
