Hostilities of Security agents, cause of spike in crime rate - PCRC

Hostility on the part of security agencies has been identified as one of the reasons for the increased rate of crime in the society. 

This was the view of Stakeholders at the launching of the Safer School Initiative Programme   for Secondary schools in Port Harcourt by the Police Community Relations Committee, PCRC. 

One of the Stakeholders, Mr. Tamuno koko explained that Security personnel should do an in-depth background of areas they are deployed to and reach a common ground with members of the Community in order to achieve results in crime fighting.

On his part, the Rivers State Chairman of PCRC, Mr Casca Ogosu said corporate bodies should gainfully engage the youths to make the State an investment hub.

Highlight of the event was the induction of some eminent Nigerians as Patrons of PCRC.
