Mrs. Ezewu, who made the call in Asaba, while speaking with journalists, said that some unscrupulous individuals always took advantage of the end-of-year parties to carry out their immortal activities.
The commissioner urged parents to be wary of the kind of friends and associate their children’s Identities.
Mrs. Ezewu, however, enjoined students to avoid keeping bad friends that would not contribute meaningfully to their well-being but up to endanger their lives.
