Dear Sir,
Insecurity of Lives and Property
in Onitsha Community.
I wish to intimate you with the
threat to people’s lives and property
in our community and to make some
useful suggestion which could be of
immense help to the police in
tackling this hazard.
Our community had always been
noted for stability, peace and
tranquillity. But unfortunately, for
about six months now, this good
atmosphere has seriously disturbed.
Our lives and properties which use to
be safe and secure is no longer so.
we are now in serious danger of
night (and even day) marauders. The
threat posed by nefarious activities of
these callous men of the underworld
is inimical to peace and progress.
The helpless people of the
community are now living in fear of
burglars throughout the twenty-four
hours of every day.
One of the ways of tackling the
problem is the constitution of a
patrol team. The patrol team should
mount a twenty-four hours operation
and should always be at alert to
receive tip-offs from members of the
comunity. It should also deal
decisively with people suspected to
be robbers.
It is hoped that if this measure is
fully taken, robbery incidents will
reduce greatly. Our community will
once again enjoy an era of peace,
security and tranquillity.
I would be grateful if this
suggestion could be carefully
considered and implemented.
Thanks you
Yours faithfully,
