As Christians prepare to celebrate Christmas, the Kwara State Command Of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has deployed over 2,500 personnel to forestall the breakdown of law and order.
A statement issued on Monday by the Command’s Spokesman, ASC Ayoola Olusola in Ilorin, quoting the Commandant, Umar Mohammed, as having said the deployment focused on crucial areas prone to threats, including prayer grounds, worship centers, recreational facilities, motor parks, gardens, markets, shopping complexes, black spots, and critical installations.
Mohammed said that the initiative was aimed at establishing coordinated actionable intelligence, deterring and addressing potential threats to ensure a secured environment for all.
The Commandant directed Area Commanders, Divisional Officers and tactical commanders to beef-up security during the Christmas and New Year celebration to prevent any untoward situation in their areas of responsibility throughout the season and beyond.
He also charged them to emphasize the protection of critical national assets and infrastructure to check vandalism during the yuletide.
The commandant reassured Kwara residents that NSCDC is operationally positioned to collaborate with sister security agencies and ensure a secure environment for a joyful and peaceful celebration.
He urged the public to stay watchful, be on high alert, and promptly report any suspicious activities or movements of suspected criminals to security agencies for necessary actions.
