Marine Police Introduces Tracking Devices To Tackle Crime On Waterways

Mohammed Kura, Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG), Marine Police Command, said on Thursday that the marine police had introduced tracking devices to apprehend criminals on the waterways.

Kura made this known in an Instagram live session with the topic, ”Security and Water Transportation, Post COVID-19″, organised by Zoemaritime Resources Ltd.

He was represented by Cyprian Ovat, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, at the session.

“We are in a digital era and crime is being more sophisticated; the criminals are doing everything possible to beat the police, but we have introduced new methods to combat crime.

“We have their biodata and various tracking devices to track any criminal whose identity and prints are found at the scene of crime.

“Before any crime is committed today, there will be communication between the person online and on the waters, with this, we can track their conversation and this is how we are able to get their identity,” the AIG said.

Kura said that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the command had not recorded any serious incident of crime on the waterways.

He said that during the lockdown, boats were stopped from operation and men of the command made sure it was enforced to ensure safety.

Kur said that his men patrol the waterways, including canals, to ensure that hoodlums do not take advantage of such areas to unleash their criminal activities on people and businesses.

On their working relationship with the Navy, he said that they shared information, and on many occasions, carried out operations together.

He said that they recognised the importance of working together for the safety of the waterways.

Kura said that being a marine police officer required specialised training due to the fact that they go for rescue operations on water.

’The officer should be able to jump from one boat to the other and not have fear of drowning.

“There is a training institution in Bayelsa State that will soon kick off to help with training of marine police officers.

“Being a marine officer is all about interest because this is not an area someone is called to come and join; one should be ready to combat armed robbery at sea and so women with interest are welcomed.

“Presently, we have vibrant and skilled women officers so there is no excuse of gender issue,” he said.

The officer said that the Maritime Police Command was established in 2012 as a zonal command to oversee various police departments with operational mandate on Nigerian waterways.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
