THE Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Niger on Tuesday applauded residents for their peaceful conduct before, during and after the just-concluded Easter celebration.
The NSCDC Commandant in the state, Mr Philip Ayuba, made this known in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria ( NAN) in Minna.
Ayuba said reports from the 25 local government areas indicated that the celebration was peaceful.
“Area Commanders and Divisional Officers have been directed to commence normal operations and patrols in their respective areas of jurisdiction,” he said.
He said the command would continue to initiate and implement various security methods that would enhance peaceful coexistence among the residents.
“We have also reached out to traditional and religious leaders as well as stakeholders to sensitise residents on the need to be security conscious at all times,” he said.
“We expect members of the public to volunteer information on suspected miscreants for prompt security intervention,” he said.
He said this would enable security agencies to apprehend and prosecute all bad elements in the society. (NAN)
