The Anambra Command of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) says it has shut down 15 illegal security guard companies operating in the state.
Assistant Commandant-General (ACG) Ben Dikuro made this known in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Awka on Friday.
Dikuro warned that the organisation would not live any stone unturned in making further arrests and closures of illegal security companies in the state.
“We have been able to x-ray their activities and have provided the enabling environment for the licensed operators to carry out their duty within the law.
“Those who want to operate must be licensed to do so.”
He said the agency had created awareness of its operations and had set machinery in motion to put away vandals of national assets.
“We have set up mobile patrol to monitor national assets, including electrical installations.”
He said that because of the corps’ uncompromising stand, it has been able to effectively check vandalism in the state.
“All the entry and exit points of the state are being manned by our officers to monitor movement of adulterated petroleum products.”
Dikuro urged members of the public to see the corps as a full-fledged para-military organisation of government by providing information that could lead to the arrest of criminals.
The commandant, however, appealed to the state government to assist in building a befitting command headquarters for the NSCDC as well as donate vehicles for patrol.
He advised his officers to be hardworking, loyal and always appreciate God in all they do.
