FCT : NSCDC Assures Residents Of Hitch Free Christmas Celebrations

The FCT Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Dr Olusola Odumosu, has assured residents of the FCT of a hitch free Christmas and New Year celebration.

The Commandant who stated this in Abuja warned criminals to stay away from Critical National Assets and Infrastructure (CNAI) during the yuletide season or be ready to face the full wrath of the law.

According to the FCT Commandant, the undercover and crack Squad personnel are on 24/7 surveillance and patrol of dark spots across the metropolis to truncate activities of men of the underworld.

He called on residents, especially commuters to be on alert against one chance syndicates within and outside the metropolis as well as ensure that they are always watchful while boarding vehicles, adding that they must develop a culture of going to designated motor parks to get vehicles that have company names that could be traced to avoid patronizing one chance operators.

Dr Odumosu who frowned at the spate of kidnappings, urged the people of the capital city to be proactive and follow their inner instinct, avoid moving at night, lonely places and ensure that they keep their families and loved ones informed of their whereabout always.

He also advised those with criminal motives in the FCT to have a rethink, relocate, or be ready to face the full weight of the law as his personnel will not renege in their dogged resolve to keep vandals and criminals out of the city.

The FCT Commandant also advised residents to be vigilant and report any strange person or group of people lurking around their vicinity or tampering with Critical National Assets and Infrastructure to any NSCDC office near them or call the Command through its hotlines 09166229882 or 08159066244 for prompt response.
