Sokoto, Sept. 11, 2016 (NAN) Hajiya Halima Baba, a woman activist with the Women Empowerment Educational Network based in Sokoto, on Sunday advised Nigerians to be extremely vigilant during and after the Sallah festivities.
Baba told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Sokoto that it was only by so doing that Nigerians would be able to go about their legitimate celebrations without hindrance.
She advised the public to observe strange happenings around them as part of measures needed to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.
The woman activist also called on the members of the public to develop the culture of reporting suspected miscreants in their midst to nearest security agents for thorough investigation.
Such move, she said, would enable security officers come forward with various forms of security strategies in tackling any form of security threats.
She, however, called on the police to extend and strengthen community policing to rural communities to enable them offer intelligence reports about their surroundings. (NAN)
