Cases of assault in the city have become rampant recently. And it’s quite a scare for netizens as they cruise the petrifying city streets; some of which have been red-zoned. With netizens on high alert, there’s definitely a few ways you can employ to avoid being a statistic.<\/p>\n

To begin with, avoid walking along lonely blind alleys. Most of them are a den that await anyone who seems to be lost. You’ll end up having nowhere to run\/hide since most of them are just a cul de sac. Consider using open streets while going to your destination.<\/p>\n

The most under-rated method number 2 is walking fast. Most of these hooligans will target someone who seems confused and he\/she is walking slowly. Keep up the pace, walk it like you talk it!<\/p>\n

\"Avoid<\/p>\n

Thirdly, situational awareness. Most people are easily robbed in the city for not being aware of their own surrounding(s). While you walk, take a sneak peak of whose around you. Try to beware of anyone who is following you around surreptitiously.<\/p>\n

The other obvious method to avoid getting mugged is to walk with friends\/company. Tag a friend along after work; or while going to visit new places in the city. This will help you with manpower whenever thug(s) corner you.<\/p>\n

\"Stay<\/p>\n

Lastly, employ contextual dress-codes when necessary. If you look too fancy & lavish, you’ll be the centre of attraction for thieves. Of course they’re after money and goodies. And your outfit will determine whether they’ll come after you or not. Keep it simple!<\/p>\n
