He directed the Zonal Commanders
and State Commandants to ensure efficient deployment of their personnel to all
nooks and crannies for effective policing of lives and property against any
form of attack.
Gana while felicitating with the
Christian faithfuls, urged them to live exemplary life preached by Christ, who
sacrifice himself for the sins of all and sundry.
He reiterated that fasting period
as observed by Christians before the Easter, is a time meant for atonement of
sin, alms-giving, reconciliation, tolerance and making peace with one another
in ensuring lasting peace and harmony in the society.
Gana further said, Easter festivity
should not be seen as a time of merriment and fun fare alone but should be seen
as a time of tolerating one another irrespective of the religious differences.
However, apart from the deployment
of personnel, sniffer dogs, specialised units, such as CBRN, Special Force,
Counter Terrorism, Ambulances, Surveillance team are to be deployed to
strategic areas. He also charged the personnel to ensure the protection of
Critical Infrastructure within their localities against vandals and enemies of
the nation.
He urged personnel to work in
synergy with other sister agencies as the Corps will not tolerate any form of
sabotage and crisis between the Corps personnel and other sister agencies over
issues that could be avoided.
He therefore warned personnel
against any act of confrontation with personnel of other sister agencies and
rather urged them to always remember the Corps principle of no compromise while
discharging their duties. “Avoid the use of force and coercive language on the
populace whom you are to protect, any officer or Command found wanting or
deviate will be sanction appropriately.”
The NSCDC further stressed that
partnership and collaboration is very pertinent as all agencies are working
towards a single goal of protecting the society against insecurity.
He however advised parents to warn
their wards to desist from any act that is inimical to the society, especially
as vandals and saboteurs capitalised on festive periods to carry out their
nefarious act.
“The law therefore is no respecter
of anyone. Therefore, anyone caught, the long arm of the law will takes it
course in line with the law of the federation hence, vandals, illegal oil
bunkerers, oil thieves and operatives of illegal Private Guards Company should
desist or relocate to another country as there is no hidden place for them,” he
warned.
