The Inspector-General of Police, Mr Solomon Arase, gave the directive in a statement issued by Police Public Relations Officer, ACP Olabisi Kolawole, in Abuja on Thursday.
It directed all commissioners to personally ensure that all key and vulnerable points and all places of public resort are adequately and effectively protected.
The statement urged worshippers at churches to make conscious effort to know fellow members of their congregations to know who was a stranger.
It reiterated the need for worshippers to be alert to security and report all suspicious characters and observations to the police
The statement urged Christians to emulate and adopt the selfless lifestyle of Christ, and enjoined them to be open minded to issues of forgiveness, peace and harmonious co-existence.
It advised operators of motor parks, shopping malls and recreational centres to work very closely with the police and other security agencies as they strive to strengthen general security in their respective facilities.
“Arase, in the spirit of the season, salute officers and men of the police for their courage, dedication, tireless and selfless services to Nigerians and the country, especially, in the face of current challenges.’
