The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Kwara State has created Female Squad to man security in schools across the state.
The newly established squad is set up to checkmate the abduction of students from the schools.
The State Commandant of NSCDC, Makinde Iskil Ayinla announced this in Ilorin, on Tuesday while briefing newsmen on the activities of the security outfit in 2021.
” A Female Squad that will keep watch over our schools to checkmate students’ abduction will be unveiled this month. We have trained some selected personnel on this and with the permission of the state governor, we will deploy them to schools this month”, Ayinla stated.
The Commandant said the agency would deal ruthlessly with vandals, this year, in its efforts to prevent economic sabotage and safeguard government installations and other properties.
He added that the agency would work in conjunction with the Nigeria Customs Service to tackle smugglers in the border towns across the state.
Ayinla also hinted about the preparedness of NSCDC to keep 24 hours surveillance on Correctional Centres to forestall any breach of security in the facilities.
He said that the agency will intensify efforts on the training of its officers, especially on how to handle weapon, intelligence and information gathering to further aid their performance.
