Personal Security Advisory

1. Whenever law enforcement agents ( whether in uniform or not) stop a vehicle you are in, stay calm, avoid hissing and grumbling. Whether you are a man or a woman, respect them.

2. Please take the receipts of your electronic equipment, laptop or other bulk gadgets (original or photocopy), anywhere you go if you must carry them.

3. If you don’t have means of identification from your school or workplace, get at least a national ID card or driver’s licence. It is crucial.

4. Delete all your bank alerts, and transfer sensitive information into a flash drive or memory card.  Keep your financial transactions away from your phone.

5. Carrying  about Ten ATM cards may bring serious problem for you in our present-day Nigeria, be warned !!!

6. If you must move at night no matter how close to your house, take your ID card and let someone go with you.

7. Dress responsibly. It will save you. Looking rugged and wild may earn you serious trouble.

8. If you are given a vehicle to go for an errand, make sure all documents are complete and up- to- date. Your driver’s licence must be compliant before you hit the road.

9. When your car is being searched, don’t just look away in anger; the security operatives are doing their job. Just pay close attention to what’s going on, to avoid “had I known”.

10. If you are not sure of what someone is carrying in a bag, pack, or sack, please ask politely before accepting to give the person a ride. You may be arrested for what you know nothing about.

11. After any stranger you decide to give a help comes down, move forward a little, park and  search your vehicle very well before you continue so as to avoid harbouring  incriminating object(s) left behind.

12. It is mandatory and necessary that you don’t keep this message to yourself alone…

Do not ignore or overlook.  Security is everyone’s business. See something, Say something. STAY SAFE
