Kwara NSCDC Deploys 2,500 Officers for Yuletide Security Across State
The Kwara State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Dr. Umar Muhammed, has directed the deployment of 2,500 officers to safeguard national assets, infrastructure, and ensure the security of residents during the yuletide season.
According to a statement released by the command's Public Relations Officer, Ayoola Michael, the officers have been strategically positioned across the state's 16 local government areas to ensure a peaceful celebration.
The deployed personnel are drawn from specialized units, including the Armed Squad Unit, Operation Harmony, Counter-Terrorism Unit, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive Unit (CBRNE), and the Anti-Vandal Unit, among others.
Dr. Muhammed emphasized the command's commitment to maintaining peace and order during the festive period, urging residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities.
“Additionally, plainclothes operatives from the Intelligence and Investigation Department have been deployed for round-the-clock surveillance, as well as overt and covert patrols of recreational and religious centres, marketplaces, and locations of critical government assets.”
The commandant also said that the command will synchronize efforts with other security agencies, including local vigilantes, to ensure that residents of the state have a trouble-free Yuletide and New Year celebration.
While extending his heartfelt Christmas and New Year greetings to the residents of the state, Commandant Umar strongly warned criminal elements planning to vandalize government property to refrain from such acts.
He stated that offenders will face severe legal repercussions, including a 21-year jail term without the option of a fine, by the law.
He urged the public to stay vigilant and security-conscious, and to promptly report any suspicious activities to the nearest security agencies.
