Police IRT Commander Urges Caution for Churchgoers

The commander of the Nigeria Police Force Intelligence Response Team cautioned churchgoers against publicly sharing personal details and achievements during church services, particularly evening services held at churches on the outskirts of towns. He stated that such disclosures could expose worshippers to security risks, especially when returning home after night services.

The commander emphasized that not all attendees have good intentions and urged worshippers to exercise discretion when discussing sensitive information. He called on security agencies to prioritize the safety of religious worshippers and provide adequate security guidance.

Additionally, he recommended that churches holding evening services strengthen their security arrangements by monitoring access routes and exits. The commander warned that sharing sensitive information during night prayers could give criminals the opportunity to plan attacks against worshippers, urging congregants to remain security-conscious and church authorities to implement protective measures.
