Commandant of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) in Lagos, Olasupo Solomon has tasked his men to intensify around critical infrastructure in the state. 

The commander gave the charge during an emergency summon of management staff and strategic operational commanders in the zone on Wednesday in Lagos.

The admonition is in line with the Civil Defence mandate and special efforts of the Commandant-General ( CG ), Ahmed Audi, to rejig towards 24 hours surveillance of national critical assets.

Mr Solomon urged the officers to rejig the 24 hours surveillance on custodial centres, telecommunications and electrical installations, railway stations and assets, oil pipelines, schools, hospitals among others.

“The stadia, National Museum, National Arts Theatre and other infrastructure in the state” were also listed for special patrol.

Mr Solomon pointed out that the personnel could achieve more by recognising the existential threats to mutual humanitarian, public safety and security.

He further said NSCDC would continue to collaborate with other sister security agencies across the state to endure a crime free society.

The commander, however, warned  criminals who specialise in vandalism of oil pipelines, rail tracks, transformers, stealing of valuables bridge railings, manhole covers, street lights to desist from such acts .

“I advise these criminal elements to find a better job because there is no hiding place in Lagos State.

“Any one found culpable would be made to face the full wrath of the law, in order to bring lasting peace and sanity to the society.”
