<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has affirmed its determination to intensify efforts against child molestation within the region, describing the rise in such incidents as \u201calarming and unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement was issued on Monday by FCT Commandant, Dr. Olusola Odumosu, as he welcomed students from ECWA Hill Academy, Maitama, during an educational tour of the Corps\u2019 headquarters in Wuse Zone 5, Abuja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cAside from our core responsibility of guarding critical national assets and infrastructure, our Anti\u2011Trafficking and Gender Units work relentlessly to shield children from sexual abuse, trafficking, and even organ harvesting,\u201d the Commandant said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Odumosu disclosed that a disturbing case involving a father and his nine\u2011year\u2011old daughter is currently under investigation by the FCT Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cThis level of moral depravity\u2014inflicted upon minors, especially girls\u2014is deeply distressing. We are committed to confronting it decisively and ensuring that no perpetrator escapes justice,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The Commandant further appealed to students to remain alert and to report any inappropriate conduct, emphasizing that it should not be ignored\u2014even if a family member is involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cDo not remain silent. Raise your voice. Your courage can be a powerful defence,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Odumosu also provided a brief history of the Corps. He explained that the NSCDC originated in 1967 as the Lagos Civil Defence Committee during the civil war with the mission of educating citizens on personal safety in times of conflict. Subsequently, it was transformed into a paramilitary organisation through legislation in 2003, with a significant amendment in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his address, the FCT Commandant admonished the students to take their studies seriously, encouraging them to labour diligently and bring pride to their families and the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Odumosu underscored the NSCDC\u2019s alignment with the Federal Government\u2019s Safe School Initiative, promising sustained vigilance over the safety of students, teachers, and educational infrastructure throughout the FCT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting on the excursion, ECWA Hill Academy tutor and expedition leader, Mr. Angbulu Joshua, commended the warm reception and enriching educational experience provided by the Corps, noting that the visit was designed to broaden students’ practical understanding of national security functions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
