Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command, Olusola Odumosu PhD, has lauded the resilience of his personnel at maintaining peace and tranquility across the FCT during the Christmas celebration.
Odumosu, who stated this when after monitoring the security situation around some areas in the FCT, noted that the overwhelming presence of his personnel at their designated places on surveillance was a testament to the determination of the corps to ensure that FCT residents have a joyous and hitch-free celebrations.
He maintained that the protection of FCT residents and the Critical National Assets and Infrastructure is paramount to the Corps, as an organisation, especially at this time of the year, adding that his men, both armed and those on covert operation, are all ready to give this national assignment its best.
Odumosu said that the FCT Command, in synergy with other security agencies, would ensure that residents go about their celebrations without fear of being harassed by men of the under world.
“At this point we can not allow miscreants and vandals to take advantage of the celebration mood to perpetrate evil against the state and it’s inhabitants.
My men are on 24 hours surveillance around dark spots to make sure no evil doer succeeds in their devilish plots this season.”
In a statement by the acting public relations officer of the Command, DSC Monica Ojobi, the Commandant also called on the residents of the FCT to go about their celebrations without fear, but to report any suspicious person or persons to the nearest security office.
He commended the ongoing developmental strides of the FCT Minister, Barrister Nyesom Wike and urged residents to be part of giving the capital city a face lift by protecting all government installations in their vicinity, and to report any act of vandalism as quickly as possible.
