The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command and Guards Brigade of the Nigeria Army, have agreed to work together to rid the FCT of criminals and vandals, while securing the nation at large.
“The two agencies have come a long way and should continue to collaborate more effectively and progressively for the safety of lives and property of Nigerians and other residents in the country.
“We are a product of the military, directly or indirectly,” Odumosu said. The Commandant also solicited for more collaboration in the areas of operations and training for his men from the Brigade of Guards Commander. He said his mission to make the FCT free of vandals of critical infrastructures, such as manhole covers, street lights, traffic lights amongst other criminalities, cannot be done in isolation of other security agencies; hence, the necessity for collaboration.
According to him, the Corps owed its evolution to the military, especially the Army. Responding, Col. Onasanya said there are already joint operations between the NSCDC, and other paramilitary agencies, which is responsible for the downward trend of crimes and security threats in the FCT.
He said: “If I need to consult, I will consult, If I need to take permission or approval from the top, I will, but the training would be implemented.”
Onasanya assured the corps that enlightenment will be intensified among the junior cadres, to foster a healthier relationship with other security agencies, to enhance a unified front for national security.
