The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), FCT Command, has warned vandals to stay off Critical National Assets and Infrastructure (CNAI) or risk arrest during the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
This was contained in a statement by the command’s spokesperson, Monica Ojobi, on Tuesday.
According to Ojobi, the commandant, while assuring residents of a hitch-free holiday, said the command was working round the clock to ensure residents and all CNAI in the FCT remained protected from criminals. “This warning is coming on the heels of the festive season under way which is often characterised by several activities and celebrations, with criminals taking advantage of the season to commit offences.
“Our undercover and crack squad personnel are on 24/7 surveillance and patrol of dark spots across the metropolis to truncate activities of men of the underworld,” she said.
She urged residents to be proactive and follow their inner instinct by avoiding late night movements, especially at lonely places, and ensure that they kept their families and loved ones informed of where they were always.
“Be vigilant and report any strange person or group of persons lurking around your vicinity or tampering with electric cables, transformers, waterboard pipelines, telecommunication masts, manholes, crash barriers amongst others.
“Report them to any NSCDC office near you or call the command through its hotlines: 09166229882 or 08159066244 for prompt response,” the spokesperson added. (NAN)
