“Members of the public are strongly advised to remain vigilant and security conscious at all times,” said the advisory, which was signed by Command Public Relations Officer ASP Nahum Kenneth Daso.
The advisory also included emergency contact numbers for quick reporting: 08068075581 and 08023473293.
