NSCDC Working Together With Others To Secure Release Of Kaduna Students–CG

The government and people of Kaduna State have been reassured by Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), that several students who were recently abducted in the state will soon recover thanks to the cooperative efforts of security agencies.

In a statement on Thursday in Abuja, Spokesman of the Corps, Babawale Afolabi said the CG gave the assurances when he visited the Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani.

About 200 Students and Teachers of Government Secondary School and LEA Primary School in Kuriga Chikun LGA in Kaduna were recently kidnapped.

“Your Excellency Sir, as a matter of concern, let me on behalf of the NSCDC management and personnel across the nation say that we are ready to work in collaboration with all relevant security agencies with full mechanism and security apparatus put in place to see that the perpetrators of this heinous crime do not go scot free.

“The NSCDC remains a key actor in the nation’s internal security and the lead agency in the Safe Schools Initiative. Currently, we are in strong synergy with the Nigerian Army, the Police and others for the quick and safe return of the abducted students”, Audi said.

The NSCDC boss commended the governor for providing the necessary logistics for the State Command to function effectively while also praying for the allocation of a befitting command permanent site and operational vehicles that would enhance the discharge of the Corps’ statutory mandate in Safeguarding all Critical National Assets and Infrastructure across the State.

He further appealed to various communities in Kaduna State to work closely with security agencies by providing actionable intelligence and information in order to achieve the desired success and results afterwards.

On his part, the governor lauded the good gesture exhibited by the CG and the effective collaboration of the Corps with the Armed Forces, Nigeria Police, and the DSS among others.

He said all critical stakeholders must play active roles to forestall criminalities and frustrate the evil men whose delight is to disrupt the peace and stability of the State.
