The command’s public relations officer, SP Sunday Abutu, in a statement, said the campaign was organised in collaboration with the Police Campaign Against Cultism and Other Vices (POCACOV).

The leadership of the command and others embarked on a road walk and campaign against cultism, drug abuse and other vices.

The walk, which was equally aimed at ensuring a crime-free Christmas and New Year, commenced from the command headquarters and covered major streets within Ado-Ekiti metropolis.

It featured the sensitisation of the general public on the dangers of cultism, drug trafficking/abuse, gender-based violence, and other criminal acts.

The sensitisation campaign, according to the police boss, is in line with the inspector-general of police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun’s proactive policing technique, crime prevention measures, and inclusive policing strategy, aimed at ensuring a crime-free society and the safety of lives and property for all.
