Borno Police Urges Stranded Travellers to Seek Help

ASP Nahum Daso, the Public Relations Officer of the Borno State Police Command, has urged stranded travellers to approach the nearest police station for assistance. In a Facebook post, Daso emphasized that the police are there not only to enforce the law but also to protect and assist the public.

He recounted a recent case where police officers in Kano helped a woman who had travelled from Maiduguri to visit relatives but became stranded without a mobile phone or knowledge of her relatives' address. The police intervened, contacted authorities in Maiduguri, traced her family, and facilitated her safe return.

Daso provided safety reminders for travellers, advising them to inform trusted individuals about their travel plans, keep identification and emergency money, and approach police officers if they find themselves lost or in distress. He also cautioned against sharing sensitive information with strangers.
