Dr Audi who briefed top management and commandants reminded the officers that the core mandate of the NSCDC is the protection of critical national assets and infrastructure as well as securing lives and property of the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He noted that credible intelligence revealed that there are plans to hold peaceful protest in some selected states which includes but not restricted to the FCT, Lagos, Ondo, Oyo, Delta, Rivers among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo this end you are directed to place your officers and men on red alert across all flash points, venues of the planned protests, public gatherings, recreational centres and muster points of any rally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur duty is to ensure adequate protection of government facilities to avert all forms of breakdown of law and order and vandalism planned by sinister and criminal minded individuals who will often hijack peaceful protests to actualize their nefarious activities\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
