CSP Kasimu Abdul, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of the Zaria Division, has attributed moral decadence and societal decay to too much love parents have for their children.

He disclosed this on Sunday at the formal handing over of a vigilante office donated by a philanthropist to beef up security in Kofar Gayan Low-Cost in Zaria.

The DPO, represented by SP Abdullahi Aliyu, assistant officer-in-charge of Low-Cost Police Outpost, tasked parents on the need to ensure the proper upbringing of their wards.

He observed that parents’ excessive love for their children in most cases makes security personnel’s duty very hectic, adding that ” some parents can go to any extent to free their children even if they knew that the children are guilty of the offence being accused of.”

 Mr Abdul urged residents of Low-Cost to assist security personnel “so that together we can achieve our goal of ensuring security of lives and property.”

He charged both formal and non-formal security outfits to discharge their duties with the fear of God Almighty, adding that they were engaged to serve humanity, not to molest innocent persons.

On his part, Aliyu Abubakar, officer-in-charge of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Low-Cost Outpost, said constitutionally, police were number one in terms of civil security operations.

Mr Abubakar encouraged people to support the security personnel with credible intelligence to discharge their duties diligently, “if you see something, say something.”

Rilwan Al-Sudaney, Civilian JTF commander in charge of Low-Cost, described security as a pillar to any meaningful development, advising that people should endeavour to give vigilante courage, support, and the necessary assistance to succeed.

In his speech, Shamsu Aliyu, chairman of the Low-Cost Community Development Association (LCDA), commended the area’s residents for their cooperation and urged them to do more to ensure its safety.
