The Nigeria Police Force has issued a safety advisory urging citizens to remain calm and avoid resistance if they find themselves in the unfortunate situation of encountering criminals.
In a brief but widely circulated message, the police advised: “In the unfortunate event that you find yourself among criminals, do not struggle, do not fight, just stay calm.” The guidance, according to security sources, is aimed at reducing casualties and preventing situations from escalating into violence.
The advice has generated mixed reactions across the country. While some Nigerians agree that compliance may help victims stay alive during dangerous encounters, others expressed concern, arguing that the statement reflects deeper challenges in addressing crime and insecurity.
Security experts note that staying calm, observing details, and avoiding sudden movements can sometimes reduce the risk of harm during criminal encounters. However, they also stress the importance of strengthening preventive security measures and rapid response systems to ensure citizens are better protected.
The police have encouraged Nigerians to remain vigilant, cooperate with law enforcement, and promptly report suspicious activities through official emergency channels, reaffirming their commitment to improving public safety nationwide.
