<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Ebonyi Command has warned its personnel who recently underwent arms training that it will not tolerate any case of accidental discharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The State Commandant of the corps, Mr Francis Nnadi, gave the warning on Wednesday in Abakaliki while addressing a guard of honour mounted for him by the 83 personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nnadi charged the personnel who were trained at the 14 Brigade of the Nigeria Army, Ohafia, Abia, to stick to all rules of engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne should be more disciplined when armed, and you must make vigilance your watchword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe commandant general of the corps has a mantra of rejuvenating and reinvigorating the corps, and all state commands are proactively striving to achieve this mandate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state commandant remarked that the command was collaborating with the state government to secure the Chuba Okadigbo Airport, Onueke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe also have the mandate of protecting critical infrastructure in the state, as the arms training will be handy in actualising the mandates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe would be deploying the personnel across the state to effectively utilise their expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCriminals and non-state actors are upping their skills, but we have to be far above them to check their activities, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He expressed satisfaction with the skills exhibited by the trainees during the parade, describing them as exceptional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost of them had earlier undergone special forces, counter-terrorism and other forms of large- and medium-scale training,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ebonyi Commissioner for Youth Development and Sports, Mr Richard Idike, congratulated the trainees and urged them to effectively practicalise all they learnt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe society is grappling with rising criminal activities, and we need enhanced training for security operatives to check such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe training NSCDC personnel underwent from the army makes them unique, and the state has benefitted tremendously from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe state commandant has performed exceptionally, and the increase in personnel performance is evident,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the trained personnel, Florence Nweke, thanked the State Commandant for affording them the training opportunity and pledged to be more dedicated to her duty. (NAN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
