Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, (NSCDC), in Kwara State, Dr. Umar Mohammed, has deployed over 3,000 personnel for the Saturday council polls across the 16 local government areas of the state.<\/p>\n

Dr. Umar disclosed that the personnel were drawn from the State Command, Area Commands, and Divisional Offices in all the 16 council areas.<\/p>\n

The commandant, in a statement by the spokesman of the command, Ayoola Michael Shola in Ilorin on Thursday, said the deployed officers will man various polling units and synchronize efforts with sister security agencies to ensure the peaceful conduct of the election on September 21, 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur primary responsibility is to create an environment where the local government election can be conducted peacefully, free from violence, intimidation, ballot snatching, and any other disruptive actions,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Umar warned that the NSCDC would not tolerate any form of political thuggery, violence, or hooliganism. Any action aimed at disrupting the electoral process will be met with immediate and decisive action.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cthe personnel have been thoroughly briefed and will collaborate with other sister security agencies at the polling units. Special forces, such as Operation Harmony, the Counter-Terrorism Unit, and the Female Squad, will be patrolling the state to enhance security.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition, officers from the Anti-Vandal Unit and the Critical National Assets and Infrastructure Department will be deployed to monitor and protect government assets, ensuring they are not targeted by vandals during the election.\u201d<\/p>\n

Umar appealed to political parties and citizens to cooperate fully with security agencies and avoid any action that could undermine the peaceful conduct of the elections.<\/p>\n
