(2) Every person subject to the supervision of the police who is at large in the Cross River State shall notify the place of his residence to the nearest superior police officer and, whenever he is about to change his residence, shall notify such intention to the said superior police officer, stating the place to which he is going, and also, if required, and so far as is practicable, his address at that place, and so soon as he arrives at his new place of residence he shall forthwith notify his arrival to the superior police officer stationed nearest to such last mentioned place.
(3) Every such person shall once in each month report himself at such time and in such manner as may be prescribed by the nearest superior police officer, either to such officer himself or to such other person as that officer may direct.
(4) If any person fails to comply with any of the requirements of this section, he shall be guilty of an offence against this Law unless he proves that he did his best to act in conformity with the law and was prevented by circumstances beyond his control, and shall be liable on conviction to imprisonment for one year.
- Power to remit requirements of section 3
The Commissioner may by order under his hand remit any of the requirements of the last preceding section either generally or in the case of any person subject to supervision of the police.
- Penalty for harbouring thieves, etc.
(1) Every person who occupies or keeps a lodging house or any premises licensed for the sale of intoxicating liquor or any place of public entertainment or public resort, and knowingly lodges or knowingly harbours thieves or reputed thieves, or knowingly permits or knowingly suffers them to meet or assemble therein, or knowingly allows the deposit of goods therein having cause for believing them to be stolen, shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine of twenty naira or to imprisonment for four months, and the court before which he is convicted may, in addition or in lieu of such punishment, require him to enter into his own recognizance with or without sureties for keeping the peace and being of good behaviour during twelve months, and may order him to be imprisoned until such recognisance, with sureties, if so directed, is entered into; but so that the imprisonment for not entering into a recognisance shall not extend for a term longer than two months.
(2) Any licence for the sale of intoxicating liquor, or for keeping any place of public entertainment or public resort, which has been granted to the occupier or keeper of any such house or place referred to in subsection (1), may, in the discretion of the court, be forfeited on his first conviction of an offence under this section, and on his second conviction for such offence his licence shall be forfeited, and he shall be disqualified for a period of two years from receiving any such licence.
