COVID 19: VItal Security Tips & Measure You should Know During This Pandemic.

Good day nice people, I want to draw your attention to the need of being very security conscious this COVID 19 Pandemic period.

2020 has been a very trying year. A lot has happened back to back.  A large majority of individuals who earn a living by riding motorcycles and tricycles lost their jobs and have been having a hard time and now the economy is shutting down, with the lockdown and No adequate provision is being made for the welfare of the lower class

A lot of the security forums I belong to are predicting a sharp rise in crime... armed robbery, theft, kidnapping, molestations, etc. Simply because people are suffering. A lot of people no longer have a viable source of income. They have tried borrowing, begging and may now resort to stealing. 

Please ensure you take necessary precautionary measures to secure your loved ones, homes and properties!

Here are few tips to help us out!
