The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps on Monday said it had deployed no fewer than 55,000 of its personnel nationwide to ensure a hitch-free Christmas and New Year celebrations.

The NSCDC spokesman, Mr Emmanuel Okeh, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja that about 15,500 specially-trained sniffer dogs had also been deployed.

Okey said the animals would complement the efforts of its personnel by ensuring law and order during the yuletide.

The spokesman said, “I can assure you that the NSCDC has deployed no fewer than 55,000 of its personnel across the nation, especially to those hot spots, to ensure law and order during and after the yuletide.

“We have also taken delivery of about 500 specially-trained sniffer dogs from the US, to complement the 15,000 we have on ground.

“And all of them will be deployed to ensure adequate security during this period.”

Okeh said the NSCDC had deployed 5,000 personnel to some strategic states like the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Lagos, Kano and Port Harcourt, while other states would have no fewer than 2,000 personnel.

He said strategic places such as churches, recreation spots, federal highways and all forms of gathering places would have security beefed up around them.

According to him, other specialised units such as the Special Forces, counter-terrorism unit and surveillance vehicles will also be deployed to maintain law and order.

The NSCDC official urged Nigerians to be vigilant and report any suspicious movement to security agents as some criminals were fond of using public holidays to perpetrate evil.

you mean the same way he's been working hard for 6 years on terrororism and there was bomb blast today. He sends 52thousands toothless dog out to his political friends and your minds tells u he is working hard. In other climate he should have long resigned for failure and imcompetence

Nice One ....Security should be the 1st objective of any nation state or society.
I hope Mr NSCDC stays true to his word and not be the type that just reels out numbers

Boko haram coming to a church near you

Where are those NSCDS drawn from self

So, it means those state that they were drawn from faces no risk of the Boko Haram guys.



This is just misplaced priority to me.

15,500 dogs.....For what!!!

55,000 unpatriotic security personel means nothing! When a real disaster strikes they will be praying to God to turn the dogs to horses.
Their beliefs in an afterlife can't even ginger them. I have seen them run faster than a cheetah on PUMA®.

It's not like it's going to make much of a difference.. but good for them anyway.

Good one
