NSCDC Launches New Technology For Security Data Collation

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), says it
has developed new technology – Integrated Electronic Arrest
Reporting System (I-EARS), for the collation of security data.

The NSCDC’s Commandant General (C-G), Mr Ahmed Audi, disclosed
this in a statement by the corps’ spokesman, Mr Olusola Odumosu, on
Wednesday in Abuja.

Audi said that the I-EARS was to make compilation of information
on all forms of crime, for planning and orchestration of strategic
action for security operations by the corps.

Meanwhile, the C-G has also ordered the 15 Zonal Commanders of
NSCDC across the country to beef up security in states under their
jurisdiction.

He also directed them to deploy improved tactics to maintain
security before, during and after the Eid-el-fitr celebration.

According to Audi, the directive became necessary following
threats of attack by miscreants and bandits in different parts of
the country, which must be forestalled to guarantee a hitch-free
celebration.

He said: “There is need to deploy different scientific
approaches to combat insecurity at this time, hence the resolve for
tactical deployment of conventional and specialised personnel, with
appropriate operational equipment to strategic locations.’’

He listed some of those locations as Eid praying grounds,
recreational centers, motor parks, shopping malls, markets and
other critical national assets, adding that surveillance personnel
would be deployed for covert duties.

The CG, who noted that the present security situation in the
country was worrisome, expressed optimism that the challenges
threatening the fabric of the nation’s collective existence would
soon be over.

“The peace and stability of a country leads to its economic
growth and development, therefore, it is the responsibility of
every citizen to see Nigeria as a collective project that must not
be allowed to fail.’’

He appealed to Nigerians, irrespective of religion, tribe, race
or colour, to use the period to pray for peace in the country.

He also reminded citizens, especially those privileged to have,
to remember those that could not afford to feed, and also pray for
the personnel combating various security threats to the country.
