Yuletide: NSCDC deploys 2,979 personnel to Delta
 The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Delta Command, has sent out 2,979 troops to provide leak-proof security for a trouble-free holiday season.

Emeka Peters, the Command's public relations officer, revealed this in a statement released on Friday in Asaba.

In order to maintain strict security prior to, during, and after the holiday season, the state Commandant, Akinsanya Iskilu, was quoted in the statement as having approved the workforce's deployment to sites around the state that were deemed to be flash spots and red sports.

According to Akinsanya, the staff underwent a battery of hard training, regimens, lectures, briefings, and exercises to get them ready for the job.

He said that the Counter Terrorism Unit CTU, Snipper Combatants, Female Squad, Crack Team, Special Forces, and other organisations provided the people.

Akinsanya promoted a trouble-free Yuletide but issued a strong warning against the usage of fireworks leading up to, during, and following the holiday.

As certain miscreants or hoodlums may hide or operate under the cover of fireworks to carry out their nefarious acts, he claimed that it might cause dread, panic, or concern. This could also lead to security authorities being misinformed.

He reminded the populace that the state's ban on the usage of fireworks remained in effect, allowing security authorities to spot and identify hoodlum activity.

The protection of people and property as well as the upkeep of peace and order in the state, according to the Corps' leadership, he claimed.

In addition, he urged the populace to "feel free to speak anything when they witness something that is against the laws" and to restore their faith in security agencies.

Due to the strong synergy, coordination, and partnerships of multiple security agencies, he urged troublemakers to migrate elsewhere since they would not survive the current security climate in Delta.

Akinsanya urged the general populace to go about their lawful business without worrying about being harassed, intimidated, or apprehended.
