They are currently being processed for court actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe public is assured that; the conduct of the security personnel shall be strictly within the confines of the Law. To ensure this, the Police High Command has instituted a strong Inspectorate Unit to regularly supervise and monitor the activities of security personnel, in a bid to ensure respect for human rights and the rule of Law.\u201d<\/p>\n

The police notified the public that they may be seeing high presence of security movements within their vicinities as routine patrols will be intensified. However, they said people are urged not to panic and should go about doing their lawful businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndividuals going armed in public with knives and other small weapons will be stopped and searched and anyone found wanting will be processed and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law,\u201d says the police.\u201d<\/p>\n

Similarly, police say all criminal dens, vous, ghettos, and criminal hideouts will be targeted during the exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cMembers of the public who wish to travel outside or leave their homes for other reasons during odd hours of the night are accordingly encouraged to carry with them documents for identification purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe public is further reminded that, it is our collective responsibility to collaborate and partner with the security in the fight against crime.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
