The Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Ahmed Abubakar Audi, has revealed the presence of a dangerous group’ in Nigeria causing mayhem.
Abubakar made the revelation Thursday at the NSCDC headquarters in Abuja, during the opening ceremony of the last Commandant General conference for the year 2022 with zonal commanders and state commandants of the Corps.
The NSCDC boss said the group was identified through an intelligence report at the disposal of the Corps.
In his words, “There is a dangerous group in town. The members dress in security uniforms and they have started unleashing mayhem on the citizens.
“So, we have to buckle up and fish these people out,” Abubakar said, calling on the top officers to live up to the expectations of the government by doing their job well.
He noted that the nation will be heading into the general election in a few weeks adding that the conference will devise a strategy to end the destruction of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC’s facilities.
The NSCDC boss charged the zonal commanders and state commandants to work with sister agencies in ensuring the protection of government properties and public infrastructures in
respective states.
“We are going to hold commandants accountable if there is any attack on any INEC facility in their states,” Abubakar said.
He urged the participants to concentrate more on intelligence gathering, stressing that preventing a crime is cheaper than curing it.
