NSCDC Calls for More Information from Public to Curb Crimes
By Ayobami Agboola, Osogbo
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) on Thursday, called for more information from the public to assist the corps to be able to nib crimes in the bud and apprehend criminals.
Mr Waheed Popoola, the Assistant Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), Zone F, South-West, made this call while on a working visit to the Osun Command of the corps.
According to Popoola, unless civilians give security agents information, it would be difficult for them to identify and apprehend criminals invading communities and states.
“People living in a community and environment know each other and they can easily identify strangers entering their midst.
“When they identify and report strange people in their communities to us, it will help us prevent any kind of criminal plan or operation they hope to carry out.
“Our motto is defending the defenseless, but if we don’t get adequate and timely information from the public, it might be difficult to defend or prevent crimes.
“In a bid to prevent crimes and boost our counter-terrorism operations, we have to work hand-in-hand with the civilian population and other sister agencies.
“In our operations we need the people to work with us, because we are like everyone else just that we have uniforms, so we need public assistance to curb crimes and apprehended criminals.” he said
He said the job of security was not a one man show and said everybody must be involved and that no one is left out in the business of security.
He said his men were performing excellently well and that through the working synergy the NSCDC has with other security agencies, the civilian populace are able to sleep in their homes with their two eyes closed.
