The Delta State Police Command has shared some security tips with Nigerians on how to stay safe amidst rising insecurity in the country.

The command shared the tips in a tweet on its handle @DeltaPoliceNG on Friday.

Virtually all parts of country currently battle with one form of insecurity or the other with various crimes going on, largely unabated.

Parts of the North-west is now being overran by rampaging bandits who kidnap for ransom and kill victims who cannot pay for their freedom.

While the North-central is also plagued by bandits and criminal herders who operate in parts of Kogi, Benue and Nassarawa, the North-east is still fighting an age-long battle war with Boko Haram and other insurgency groups such as ISWAP.

Even though authorities claim the insurgents have largely been “degraded” and are now “focusing more on soft targets and solitary military formations”, Boko Haram elements are still able to carry out attacks in many parts of the North-east including on military posts and formations.

The South-east and South-south regions are also battling with attacks from suspected separatists.

In its advisory, the police urged Nigerians to avoid showing off and many other norms in the society.
