Osun NSCDC Charges Residents On Credible Information To Curb Insecurity

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Osun Command, has appealed to residents of the state to share timely and credible information and intelligence that would help curb insecurity.

The Osun NSCDC Commandant, Mr Emmanuel Ocheja, made the appeal when he spoke to newsmen on Tuesday, during the 2022 International Civil Defence Day, held at the Nelson Mandela Freedom Park, Osogbo.

Ocheja explained that timely information sharing and intelligence would aid the command in operating a safe and secure security apparatus that would tame all negative vices in the state.

“I believe if we are able to share proactive information, some of these miscreants, hoodlums and mischievous individuals causing mayhem, would be tamed, and the state will be safe and free for all,” he said.

According to him, the synergy between security agencies and the public is paramount in helping to curb criminal activities and maintaining law and order in a society.

Ocheja, however, said the command would not relent in carrying out its established mandate, which is the protection of lives and property within its area of mandate.

CityMirrorNews reports that part of activities to mark the day included the conduct of free medical tests for residents of the state.
