The Police in Bauchi
have advised parents to caution their children on the dangers of accepting
“sweets, chocolates and biscuit” gifts from unknown persons.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state DSP Haruna Mohammed
said in Bauchi on Wednesday that the advice had become necessary to safeguardchildren from people with evil intentions.
Haruna, who is
embarking on a sensitization campaign in schools, also urged parents to monitor
and ensure that their children related with a responsible peer group.
“Parents are advised to
closely monitor their children, know their peer group and also discourage them
from collecting gift items such as sweets, biscuits and chocolates from
strangers ,as these are the easiest ways to initiate them into secret cults and
other social vices,” he said.
The spokesperson also identified frequent attendance of
‘parties’ by youth as another easy means of getting initiated into cultism.
