D/Day: NSCDC Boss Orders Full Scale Security Beef Up Nationwide

As Nigeria celebrates Democracy day, the Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Dr Ahmed Abubakar Audi has ordered a full scale security beef up across the federation.

He gave the charge in Abuja while briefing Top Management Cadre and State Commandants on the need for continuous
protection of the nation’s Critical National Assets and infrastructure, which is one of the core mandates of the Corps as well as securing lives and property of the people.

Dr Audi hinted that Credible Intelligence revealed that there were plans to hold peaceful protests in some selected states, which include but not restricted to FCT, Lagos, Ondo, Oyo, Delta, Rivers among others.

“To this end, you are directed to place your officers and men on red alert across all flash points, venues of the planned protests, public gatherings, Recreational centres and muster points of any Rally”.

“Our duty is to ensure adequate Protection of Government facilities to avert all forms of breakdown of law and order and Vandalism planned by criminal minded individuals who will often hijack Peaceful Protest in order to actualize their nefarious activities”.

The CG said, to achieve effective security coverage, the NSCDC would collaborate with sister security agencies to uphold law and order and ensure that security of lives and property are not in jeopardy.

He further appealed to Nigerian Youths to refuse being used by desperate and criminal minded individuals stressing that anyone caught would be arrested and made to face the full wrath of the law.
