Ahead of the Easter celebrations the  has called on Nigerians to be security conscious as the police assures water tight security measures during the period.

A statement by the spokesman of the police, Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Frank Mba said, against the backdrop of security challenges in the country and the forthcoming Easter Celebrations, the Police High Command urges worshippers both at Jumat and Church services to be security conscious.

He asked worshippers to take adequate measures to reduce the number of vehicles around these worship centers so as to make the tasks of keeping surveillance on the area easier.

The police apex authority also advises that abandoned and disused vehicles should not be parked within or close to places of worship and residential areas. It further highlights the need for vehicles parked overnight in those premises to be properly vetted and identified.  

Frank added that empty containers and other forms of receptacles like dustbins not in use should be properly disposed or stored far away from the reach of unauthorized persons.

The statement also said the Police High Command highlights the need for flower pots and flower edges around residential buildings, offices and worship centers to be kept clear and regularly checked for foreign or suspicious objects.

It reiterates the need for worshippers to be security alert and report all suspicious characters and observations to the Police. The worship centers are enjoined to discourage hawking and loitering around the worship centers after service.

Mba further said worshippers are equally advised to refrain from entering the worship centers with hand bags, brief-cases and other related items.

“The Force equally advises operators of motor parks, shopping malls and recreational centers to work very closely with the Police and other security agencies as they strive to strengthen general security in their respective facilities,” the police statement said.
