CSP Kasimu Abdul, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of the Zaria Division, discussed that excessive parental love often leads to moral decadence and societal deterioration.
Abdul shared this during the formal handover of a vigilante office donated by a philanthropist to enhance security in Kofar Gayan Low-Cost in Zaria.
Represented by SP Abdullahi Aliyu, assistant officer-in-charge of Low-Cost Police Outpost, the DPO stressed the importance of parents ensuring the proper upbringing of their children.
He noted that parents’ overwhelming affection sometimes complicates the work of security personnel, as some parents are willing to go to great lengths to protect their children, even if they are aware of their involvement in wrongdoing.
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.”
