The Police have cautioned the holiday makers especially students who have just completed their first term and have gone back home to avoid going to dangerous places.
Ms Polly Namaye, the deputy Public Relations Officer of Police advises the students who are in holidays to use this period to contribute positively to their families instead of hanging out with the wrong people.
“Holiday is time to interact with your parents, and we hope that as students you are going to take this opportunity to contribute positively to your families,” said Ms Namaye.
She gave the holiday makers guidelines to follow in order to be purposeful, meaningful and have a secure holiday.
Namaye said one should keep his or her mind sharp over the break by offering to read your books, news papers to keep abreast of current affairs.
“Avoid dangerous places like; night clubs, betting halls, video halls, Bars among others,” she added.
She further urged the students to avoid meeting with people they know from social media especially Facebook, saying some could be criminals.
“Avoid meeting people you have known over social media, for criminals are over there waiting for unsuspecting people like you (students) to kill you off, some for ritual purposes, gang rapists who may kill the victim to destroy evidence. Remember prevention is better than cure.”
The Police also cautions the youth to avoid unnecessary movements or if not, they should always move in a group and above all inform your family of where you are going.
