The
Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps ( NSCDC), Niger command, has deployed
28 special trained force to Shiroro and Munya Local Government Areas to tackle
kidnapping and banditry.
Mr Philip Ayuba, Corps Commandant in the state, disclosed this
in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Minna.
He noted that the special force was also provided with modern
working facilities to protect lives and property along the axis.
He explained that the deployment is a normal routine posting to
ensure that the corridor is safe from any form of security threat.
According to him, the deployment of plain security personnel to
cattle markets across the state was also part of the various security measures
put in place to check the activities of cattle rustlers.
“We are partnering with the cattle dealers to alert us on any
suspicious person or group of people that have come to their midst with large
cows for sale.
“They know their customers very well, who usually purchase large
number of cows from them and sell to other parts of the country as well as
those, who usually come with one or two cows to sell,’’ he said.
He also emphasised that all the security agencies in the state
will continue to compare notes to make sure they are always ahead of anyone
trying to cause unrest in the state.
He solicited the support of residents in volunteering useful
information on movement of dubious characters in the society to the nearest
security unit for prompt action.
