While surfing the microblogging platform, I stumbled on this interesting post shared by a Twitter user by the name Ike Aguata (@Ike_Obiora). He published a thread which I found really beneficial especially for those who may be potential victims of kidnapping, theft or robbery as a result of their security flaws.
I have reposted it exactly how he’d published it with slight spelling and grammatical modifications.
I’m not a security expert but I got this from someone and in view of random kidnapping going on in the country, I thought it wise to share some of these security measures as received.
Important Security Measures Should Know
1. Never use car stickers that say where you work, especially if you have a prestigious job.
2. Never share pictures of your kids in their school uniforms or badges. Protect your kids!
3. When you attend parties, don’t let the band get you so high that you start spraying money like no man’s business, use an envelope.
4. Don’t be the one that tries to empty the ATM machine by making large withdrawals… You don’t need 50k in your wallet to feel like a man.
5. Always delete your bank transaction notifications, especially SMS…you really can memorize your bank balance… Shred ur POS/ATM receipts.
6. Don’t go jogging while it’s dark, you really should be smarter than that. If you can, get someone trusted as a company.
7. Always lock your doors, even if you’re only going out to switch off your generator.
8. NEVER EVER, NEVER EVER WEAR YOUR ID outside your workplace. No one needs to know where you work
9. Be accountable to your spouse or parents, let someone know where you are at every point.
10. As much as you can, don’t send kids alone on errands outside your house, they are soft targets.
11. Don’t try to show you are the richest in the neighbourhood by making large donations in your estate meetings, learn modesty.
12. When you give, give with modesty and privately, learn to say “I can’t spare that amount now”.
13. Don’t stay late in your office long after closing hours. That deadline work can be done at home.
14. Make safety the number one factor in your decision always! God will keep and protect you as you also apply discretion.
15. Mind what you post about yourself on social media.
16. In case of any Emergencies, please call *112* the Toll-Free Number for a prompt response.
There you go, I hope you found these security measures helpful? Don’t hesitate to share this post on your social media platforms. Who knows…Â you might just save someone from danger.
