The NSCDC boss stated further that against this view, security agencies in Oyo state have synergized to ensure that the issue of security challenges becomes a thing of the past.

He noted that despite the condition, the command had been striving to elevate the status of the Corps with the support of gallant officers as well as the community stakeholders’ assistance.
Reacting, some of the stakeholders who appreciated the effort of NSCDC promised to spread the message among their people so that society could be relatively calm for all and sundry.
