Kaduna State Commandant, Nurradeen Abdullahi,
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Kaduna, is to deploy over 2,500 personnel in the State to ensure surveillance and physical security during the yuletide season.
A statement by the State PRO, Ondiir Terzungwe, said the Kaduna State Commandant, Nurradeen Abdullahi, gave the assurance while addressing Head of Departments with Area Commanders and Divisional Officers in an expanded meeting held at the command annex, Tudun-Nupawa.
The statement added that Abdullahi said the measure had become necessary in order to guarantee a hitch-free Christmas and New Year break.
The Commandant urged all the 23 Divisional Officers to ensure total mobilisation and deployment of officers and personnel in their divisions as he also tasked them on supervision and monitoring even after the deployment.
Abdullahi expressed readiness to work in synergy with other agencies, calling on members of communities, religious and traditional leaders with members of the public to support security agencies to succeed in the task.
The statement called on all and sundry to report suspected acts and persons whose actions potend threats to the relative peace enjoyed in Kaduna state and environs.
The Commandant renewed call on parents and guardians to monitor the movements of their children and wards, citing regrettable rising incidence of sexual abuses against minors in spite of the fight against it.
He assured of the command’s resolve in prosecuting cases of rape against children, gender based violence and others without compromise.
