NSCDC, Katsina community establish outpost to tackle insecurity
The Kaduna State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), in collaboration with the residents of Muhammad Bashar Housing Estate Katsina, has established an outpost to enhance security in the area.
Speaking at the inauguration of the outpost on Saturday, the NSCDC state commander, Muhammad Sanusi, described the development as a great achievement.
He said the call for establishing the outpost came at the right time, given the security challenges in the communities.
Mr Sanusi said although the security situation in the state had improved, the outpost would contribute to sanitising the area from bad eggs in the society.
He further commended the efforts of the residents that led to the outpost’s establishment, adding that they deserved more commendation.
He assured the residents of the command’s commitment to providing the outpost with adequate operatives, including those with arms.
Earlier, the chairman of the community’s security committee, Suleiman Abdullahi, said the insecurity in the state, especially within the communities, encouraged them to facilitate the outpost.
While commending the NSCDC, the security committee chairman assured them of all the necessary support to protect the residents’ lives and property.
Also, one of the residents of the area, Yakubu Daudawa, a retired Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), said the outpost would assist in reducing the security challenges in the area.
Mr Daudawa called on other communities to replicate the development and ensure that the state continued to enjoy peaceful coexistence.
