From Isaac Anumihe, Abuja
Ahead of Christmas and New Year festivities, Commandant General (CG), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Professor Ahmed Abubakar, has ordered the deployment of over 55,000 operatives nationwide to safeguard government critical national assets and infrastructure and protect life and prosperity of the citizens before, during, and after the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
The NSCDC boss hinted that the deployment was necessary to enhance the security architecture of the nation, as criminal-minded persons utilise festive periods to carry out their sinister and unscrupulous activities.
The CG emphasised that security threats like banditry, kidnapping, farmer-herder clashes, terrorism, and insurgency would be effectively tackled if the citizens imbibe the habit of giving credible and sustained intelligence that would lead to the arrests of those who have conducted themselves as threats to the nation’s security.
Audi directed all zonal commanders to monitor the commands under their formations, while state commandants are to co-ordinate the Area Commands, Divisional office, and other formations.
