The Anambra Command of the Nigerian Security and Civil
Defence Corps (NSCDC) saya it has shut down 15 illegal security guard companies
operating in the state.
Assistant
Commandant-General (ACG) Ben Dikuro made this known in an interview with News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Awka on Friday.
Dikuro
warned that the organisation would not live any stone unturned in making
further arrests and closures of illegal security companies in the state.
“We
have been able to x-ray their activities and have provided the enabling
environment for the licensed operators to carry out their duty within the law.
“Those
who want to operate must be licensed to do so.”
He said
the agency had created awareness of its operations and had set machinery in
motion to put away vandals of national assets.
“We
have set up mobile patrol to monitor national assets, including electrical
installations.”
He said
that because of the corps’ uncompromising stand, it has been able to
effectively check vandalism in the state.
“All
the entry and exit points of the state are being manned by our officers to
monitor movement of adulterated petroleum products.”
Dikuro
urged members of the public to see the corps as a full-fledged para-military
organisation of government by providing information that could lead to the
arrest of criminals.
The
commandant, however, appealed to the state government to assist in building a
befitting command headquarters for the NSCDC as well as donate vehicles for
patrol.
