The
Inspector-General of Police, IGP Mohammed
Abubakar, with the active support of the United Bank
for Africa (UBA) Plc has today unveiled a vigorous anti-crime campaign jingle targeted
at creating awareness on the dangers of crime, discouraging young Nigerians
from engaging in crime and eliciting public support and participation in
tackling crime. The jingles which are in consonance with the IGP’s untiring
efforts at addressing the security challenges of terrorism, insurgency,
kidnapping, cultism, rape as well as human and drug trafficking offences, will
help in rebranding the nation and generally help to educate citizens on how to
avoid victimization by criminals.
The
jingles which come in both standard English and Pidgin English version is
targeted at Nigerians from all walks of life, particularly those in the rural
areas who may not have quick access to other means of communication. The
jingles are expected to run simultaneously in several radio stations across the
nation.
While
commending UBA for collaborating with the Police in bringing to fruition the
media sensitization campaign, the IGP
calls on other private and corporate bodies to, as a matter of corporate social
responsibility, partner with the Police in their stride to provide a safe and
secure environment for economic development and other life pursuits.
The
unveiling ceremony which took place at the Force Headquarters, Abuja had in
attendance officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force, top-shots of the
United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, members of the public and the press.
