The Nigeria Police has on Monday, 2 June, commenced an
extensive counter-terrorism campaign nationwide, the Force Public
Relations Officer, Frank Mba, said in a statement issued today.
The
action implies a massive distribution of information, education and
communication (IEC) materials across all strata of the society. The IEC
materials are factsheets containing distress call numbers of the Police,
the Department of State Services (DSS), and the office of the National
Security Adviser (NSA). The factsheets have been translated into major
Nigerian languages, Mba said.
The ultimate aim of the exercise is
to educate the public on their basic roles in the fight against
terrorism and how to identify terrorists’ subterfuge and other known
modus operandi of criminals.
"This is expected to help in
protecting citizens from falling victim to crime, thereby improving
overall sense of communal safety," Mba exlained.
The campaign
will last "until every citizen of Nigeria is well informed of their
responsibilities in this age of terrorism", reads the announcement at
the website of the Ministry of Information.
