The Anambra State command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps said it is strategising among its personnel and critical stakeholders to prevent vandalism of public assets in the state ahead of the nationwide protest across the country.
In a statement released on Friday, State Commandant of the NSCDC Maku Olatunde said that the command’s goal was to accomplish this by calling a strategic meeting of all Area Commanders, Divisional Officers, Heads of Formations, and Tactical Commanders at the State Command Headquarters in Awka.
According to Olatunde, the action was taken in advance of the anticipated nationwide demonstration with the goals of creating efficient safeguards for vital infrastructure and national assets, averting the collapse of law and order, and guaranteeing a coordinated reaction to any security threats.
He warned supervisory officers to maintain utmost vigilance and assume full responsibility for the security and protection of assets.
He said, “The command appealed to protest organisers to consider alternative lawful channels for articulating grievances, cautioning against infiltration by undesirable elements, including miscreants, hoodlums, and anti-progressive individuals.
Meanwhile, the command has boosted its fleet with the delivery of five refurbished IVM IKENGA vehicles to enhance its ability to respond to security challenges.
