Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, says the robust synergy among security agencies in the country has assisted in tackling insecurity bedevilling the Nation.
NSCDC Commandant in Oyo state, Mr Micheal Adaralewa stated this during the official opening of a day seminar organized by the Cooperative Union of the Command.
Mr Adaralewa said protecting the lives of citizens should not only be centred on security agencies, hence the need for communities to always collaborate and give useful information on how to police them optimally.
“We have a very fantastic working synergy with other security agencies in the state, in fact, I can say that Oyo state is the only state that is enjoying inter security agencies operations.”
“I doubt if any state has such synergy than Oyo state, here in Oyo state we relate as families, we work, we talk, we synergies, we share intelligence as families, anytime your men are overwhelmed on the field they call for backups from either police, military, DSS, and before you say anything, they are already there to give you the backup.”
“We have our own personal platform where we relate on operations and it’s very robust and fantastic and it enhancing the security architecture of the state and we have various inter-agency operations where the Civil Defence will call on the police for patrol in the night and we also do partner with the military even apart from the well known Operations Burst, we carried out clearance operations in all the bushes especially in the state, especially in Oke Ogun part of the state to rid out our bushes from criminalities.”
Commandant Adaralewa, who commended the indigenes and residents of the state for their unflinching support in making the battle against insecurity a successful one, noted that they should not relent in ensuring a peaceful atmosphere in their environments.
In view of this, he said the command had recently inaugurated an outpost station at Inu-kan community in Ona Ara Local Government Area of Oyo state for maximum protection of the community.
“The community called for the outpost station because they want to feel our impact and also to feel our presence and they made basic facilities available including infrastructure.”
“Oyo state indigenes and residents have begun to appreciate the laudable work that the NSCDC Oyo state command is doing that is why virtually all the communities in the state are partnering with us.’’
“This outpost will definitely enhance the security coverage and security policing of that community henceforth in terms of hoodlums. The issue of kidnapping, and cultism among others will be a thing of the past, and today we are deploying our personnel to that community and they will swing into action immediately.”
“We are beginning to make sure that Oyo state is safer more than before, so we want to tell all the community that are yearning for our presence that we are here to serve them, all that they need to do for us is to give us all the necessary facilities to work with, we will partner with you and make your environment safe.”
The NSCDC boss stated further that the robust working synergy among the security agencies have been of great help in curbing crimes in the state.
President of the Cooperative Union of the Command, who is the host of the seminar, Mr. Adebayo Kayode noted that the seminar would improve the lives of officers and men of the command to ensure they cultivate the habit of saving to enjoy a good life.
Highlight of the programme was the commissioning of a multipurpose toilet facility built by the Cooperative Union for the usage of the entire command.
