Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Ebonyi State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, said it arrested 85 suspects between January and March, 2024, which falls within its State Commandant\u2019s first 100 days in office.<\/p>\n

The State Commandant of the corps, Dr Willie Elijah made this known on Wednesday in Abakaliki while briefing newsmen on his sojourn since assuming office on Jan.8, 2024.<\/p>\n

Elijah said that 65 cases were reported to the command with six convictions recorded within the period.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe other cases are in various stages of prosecution at the courts as one kidnaped victim was rescued within the period,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The commandant explained that his personnel patrolled schools across Ebonyi in its safe school programme even on plain clothes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis task is mainly executed by our female squad trained specially to protect the lives of our pupils, students and teachers including school properties.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe command has established a creche, nursery and primary school which hopefully will be operational by September,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to him, the command had floated crack squads and re-invigorated its rapid response squads to ensure overall security in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have visited sister security agencies in Ebonyi and we have one unflinching objective of securing lives and properties in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have deployed my experience in achieving this goal having been posted to Ebonyi from Niger, a volatile area.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thank Gov. Francis Nwifuru for his immense support to the command in meeting our mandate of security of lives and public properties,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Elijah sought continued support from the public to ensure the smooth implementation of its activities in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople should see us as friends and not run on sighting or questioned by our personnel.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery apprehended person is not guilty except when convincted as we are in the state to make the populace safe,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
