The Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), Kwara Command, has said six of its officers are being prosecuted for misconduct.
The state Commandant of the corps, Iskil Ayinla Makinde, disclosed this while briefing newsmen on the command’s stewardship in 2021.
According to him, two of the officers have been transferred out of the state while the cases of four others have been forwarded to the national headquarters for disciplinary action.
He said the command received 1,027 cases bordering on theft, assault, land disputes, rape, criminal breach of trust, burglary and debt among others.
Makinde explained that 31 cases were prosecuted with six convictions recorded while 24 others were still pending in court.
“Three hundred and seventy-eight (378) are under investigation and 534 were resolved through alternative dispute resolution. Three cases were transferred and 50 were withdrawn with over N5 million recovered,” he added.
Makinde also said the command has created a female squad to man security in schools across the state.
This, he noted, will checkmate the abduction of students from schools.
