He said: “The general public is hereby advised to desist from relating with the dismissed officer of the agency.

“Whoever associates with him, does so at his or her own peril.

“So-Safe will not condone any act that can make the good people of the state to lose trust in its excellent security service delivery for the state.

“This step taken will serve as a deterrent to others, who would want to compromise at their duty post.”
