Acting Commissioner of Police Aporosa Lutunauga is urging village headmen to be on the lookout for the overconsumption of alcohol within their communities during the festive season.

He is urging members of the community to remain vigilant and to refrain from such behaviour.

Lutunauga says while people have the right to make their own decisions and live their chosen lifestyles, they must also understand the extent of the law and be prepared to face the consequences of their actions.

He adds that it is important for everyone to work hand in hand to help curb illegal activities in the country.
