As Muslims around the nation celebrate Eid-El-Fitr, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has dispatched 40,000 men to ensure national security.
This was said in a statement released on Tuesday in Abuja by Olusola Odumosu, Director of Public Relations for the NSCDC.
In cooperative operations with sister agencies, Odumosu claimed that NSCDC Commandant General (CG) Ahmed Audi had instructed the staff to ensure effective security of vital infrastructure and national assets.
The CG also instructed the staff to staff sensitive areas such car parks, marketplaces, shopping centers, places of worship, and other strategic locations.
He charged heads of formations to be more vigilant and highly sensitive to their environment to avoid unpleasant surprises from enemies of the country.

“You must be on top of your game, be very vigilant and highly sensitive to your environment because we are not going to take any chances,” he said.
He further charged all commands to be proactive, so as to achieve greater results.
“An intelligent-driven approach must be adopted to nip crime in the bud, be proactive and make sure you engage intelligent driven strategies.
“This will help to get credible information about intended plans of criminal elements so that we can crush them before they strike,” Audi said.
Audi further warned all Zonal Commanders to effectively coordinate formations under their jurisdictions to prevent any breach of the peace.
“All Special Forces of the Corps must be fully engaged during the Sallah celebration to guarantee the safety of lives of our people.
“I will hold Zonal Commanders responsible and State Commandants accountable for any breach of peace in any state,” he warned.
He called on all Nigerians to use the festive period to pray for the peace and unity of the country, and success of the new administration.
The CG charged all personnel to cooperate and synergise with other security agencies to tackle all forms of criminalities.
