Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, has frowned at the \u201cproliferation\u201d of unregistered and unlicensed private guard companies in Imo.<\/p>\n

The state corps commandant, Mr Matthew Ovye, stated this at a stakeholders\u2019 meeting between the command and representatives of PGCs in Owerri on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The commandant, who bemoaned the activities of such unregistered PGCs, said that criminal elements<\/p>\n

were taking advantage of their proliferation to commit crimes, while disguising as PGCs and deceiving unsuspecting members of the public.<\/p>\n

He urged the leadership of the PGCs to \u201cquickly report any persons found wanting to the NSCDC for appropriate action\u201d.<\/p>\n

He described PGCs as \u201cbuilding blocks\u201d for security, considering their closeness to the grassroots and urged them to regularly provide security reports to the command as their regulatory body.<\/p>\n

According to him, the meeting was aimed at fostering synergy between NSCDC and PGCs by availing the companies the opportunity for direct interaction with officers and men of the command.<\/p>\n

He appreciated the corps Commandant-General, Ahmed Audi, for putting up reforms to address the challenges faced by PGCs and urged Imo people to keep faith with the leadership of the NSCDC.<\/p>\n
