NEWS- As Easter celebrations are underway, with such festivals associated with many activities that include evil or wrong deeds, the Police in the Kigezi sub-region have called upon the general public to remain security-conscious and vigilant ahead of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
While addressing journalists, ASP Elly Maate, the Kigezi Regional Police spokesperson, highlighted that many people are always excited as they are ushered into celebrations but cautioned them to embrace vigilance to report suspicious persons and objects that may intend to disrupt such activities.
Proprietors of entertainment centres and church leaders who plan on conducting overnight prayers are directed to put up security checks and crowd control mechanisms while cooperating with the territorial police commanders to avert any security threat in a bid to ensure peaceful celebrations.
ASP Maate also urged the public to refrain from driving while under the influence of alcohol, reminding them that riders must remain disciplined and adhere to the law to prevent accidents and related dangers. He added that leaving homes and children unattended is wrong, as heartless individuals may exploit the opportunity to harm minors and commit theft.
Maate extended Easter wishes to residents within the Kigezi sub-region, urging them to pray to God for redemption from sin and eternal life.
Maate emphasized the need for cooperation with security agencies and announced that Police officers will be deployed to various locations to ensure general security.
