“(The) Police Campaign Against Cultism and Other Vices, in short form – POCACOV – is taking us to the communities, to schools and colleges where we are telling students about the need for one to become a champion by following the road map (we are showing them).
“This road map of becoming a champion talks about the need for one not to be involved in crime and criminality, because as soon as you get yourself involved in crime and criminality the road to becoming a champion would be dimmed.
“You are not going to be a champion because somebody that is arrested and perhaps sentenced would have his future ruined and he will no longer going to be a champion.
“So for you to be a champion, you better it on time, by shunning the acts of cultism and other vices.
“This is exactly what we are doing.[pro_ad_display_adzone id=”70560″]
“We have taken it (campaign) to schools, from school A to School B, school C; we are taking it one after the other. We are also taking it to the rural communities.
“We use to circulate our distress call numbers; we also use to circulate our Twitter and Facebook (sites) and all that. We interact with members of the public and they tell us what is happening.
“I can tell you that the level, the tide has done down with the level of sensitisation that the command had involved itself with.’’
