Ahead of the Eid-el-Fitr celebration, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Ondo State has deployed no fewer than 800 personnel across the state.
This move, announced by Ibiloye Oluyemi, the state commandant of NSCDC, through a press statement released by Daniel Aidamenbor, the command’s spokesperson, underscores the commitment to safeguarding critical national assets during the festive period.
Mr. Oluyemi emphasized the implementation of proactive measures outlined in an operational order issued to all unit heads, with the primary objective of ensuring comprehensive security and preempting any potential incidents during the festivities.
He also urged residents to actively participate in ensuring the safety of lives and properties by promptly reporting any suspicious activities or gatherings to the NSCDC through its established communication channels.
“The deployment of operatives is aimed at discouraging potential criminal activities and to provide security coverage for residents of the state with watertight security in all the praying grounds in the 18 local governments of the state.
“The tactical patrol teams from the operations department, Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU) and armed squad unit would ensure adequate patrol of the State before, during and after the festive period,” Oluyemi said.
