No fewer than 40,000 personnel of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have been deployed by the Commandant General of the agency, Mr Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu, to provide adequate security in the country during the Easter celebrations this weekend.

Mr Gana charged the personnel to ensure the protection of critical infrastructure within their localities against vandals and other criminal elements.

Apart from the officials deployed during the period the service is also deploying sniffer dogs, Special Forces, ambulances and surveillance team to strategic areas nationwide.

The NSCDC boss directed the Zonal and State Commandants to ensure efficient deployment of their personnel to all nooks and crannies for effective policing of lives and property against any form of attack.

He urged his officers to ensure effective collaboration and synergy with other security agencies towards tackling insecurity through mutual relationship.

Mr Gana said urged parents and guardians to closely monitor their wards during the celebration, saying “The law is no respecter of anyone caught in criminal activities.”
