The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has deployed over 28,000 operatives across the country to ensure a peaceful and secure holiday period.
According to a directive issued by the Commandant General of the Corps, Dr Ahmed Audi, operatives from several specialised units including the Intelligence Directorate, Special Female Squad, Commandant General’s Special Intelligence Squad, Mining Marshals, Quick Response Tactical Team, Counter Terrorism Unit, Operations Department, and Special Weapon and Tactics have been mobilised.
Audi, in a statement signed by the corps spokesperson, Afolabi Babawale, on Wednesday, stated that the large-scale deployment was part of the corps’ ongoing efforts to protect critical national assets and infrastructure, as well as to safeguard lives and property across the nation.
He warned of the potential for criminal activities during the festive period and stressed the need to forestall any threats posed by unscrupulous elements.
Speaking during a strategic security meeting with top management, state commandants, and heads of formations, Audi called for enhanced intelligence gathering through community engagement.
According to him, such coordinated efforts are crucial in addressing security challenges, including insurgency, banditry, kidnapping, vandalism, illegal bunkering, and farmers/herders clashes.
“We also call on members of the public to support this course of action so that together we can attain the goal of effective security coverage across board,” Audi said.
The CG further urged private security operators to contribute by promptly sharing intelligence and strengthening information networks, especially in times of emergency.
