The Enugu State Police, on Wednesday, called on Parents and guardians to be wiry of unpatriotic elements who would want to influence their children badly.

The State’s police command gave this warning in a statement issued by the command’s spokesman, SP Ebere Amaraizu, which is made available to NAN.

The statement is in response to the September 14 sit-at-home order issued by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the South-East region.

Amaraizu admonished the residents of the state to go about their lawful businesses without fear of intimidation as security agencies “are on top of the situation’’.

He said the police and sister security agencies were prepared to protect them and maintain the existing peace and security in the state no matter the cost or sacrifice from personnel of security agencies in the state.

The command is warning parents and guardians not allow their children or wards to be used by any person or group under any guise to disrupt peace, intimidate or harass law abiding members of the public.
