It is strongly advised that the public desist from tampering with the perimeter fence or attempting to gain any unauthorised access, for their own safety and that of all others as there could be serious repercussions for such actions.

It added that intruders and encroachers are also cautioned of dire consequences for their actions if they fail to pay heed to the numerous public warnings and education on the need to stay clear off a high security zone such as an Ammunition Depot.

GAF therefore kindly requests the cooperation and support of all stakeholders and the general public in ensuring security and safety of all,” the statement said.
