The following daily security habits should be incorporated into your

Keep all doors and windows locked (residence and vehicle). Inspect the exterior and interior of your vehicle prior to use.
Maintain a low profile by not doing anything to draw attention to you.
Frequently look to the rear to ensure you are not being followed.
Be alert to what is going on around you.
Ensure a colleague is aware of your daily plans.
In addition to the above security measures, avoid large gatherings, and refrain from using public
Transportations such as taxis or microbuses.
When shopping, it is recommended to do so in a group of at least two and to carry only the amount of money necessary to complete your purchases.
To minimize becoming a victim, make every attempt to travel with at least two vehicles, and if stopped, do not attempt to resist.
In most cases, armed bandits want only your valuables or vehicle, although there have been several cases of unprovoked beatings.
Finally, travellers are cautioned to restrict road travel to daylight hours when
Travelling outside of town.

Extension ‘3’.
