The Delta command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) says it deployed 860 personnel to ensure a hitch-free Sallah celebration.
The command’s spokesman, Anthony Uchenna, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
The NSCDC state commandant, Suleiman Jimoh, explained that the deployment was to ensure the safety of lives and properties during the festivities.
Mr Jimoh restated his commitment and that of the command to protecting critical national assets and infrastructure in Delta, putting the necessary measures in place to ensure that all facilities of interest to the growth of the nation’s economy are effectively protected.
He urged all area commanders to ensure proper security coordination in their areas, while Divisional Officers were to mobilise their personnel effectively for deployment to all recreational areas.
The commandant ordered all component commanders and special forces to be on alert to achieve watertight security in all identified flashpoints.
Mr Jimoh reminded officers of the corps’ resolve to guarantee peace, safety, and protection of lives and CNAI in synergy with other security agencies.
