NSCDC BOSS DECORATES NEWLY PROMOTED OFFICERS, TASKS PERSONNEL TO REDOUBLE COMMITMENT TO DUTIES
By: Michael Mike
Newly promoted officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), have been tasked to redouble their efforts and commitments to official duties.
The Commandant General (CG), Ahmed Abubakar Audi, PhD, mni, gave the charge at the Corps National Headquarters, Abuja, during the symbolic decoration of some of the promoted officers.
He called on them to appraise their inputs so far in service with a view to contributing more to the growth of the Corps through positive attitudes and diligent implementation of its core mandate.
Represented by the Deputy Commandant General (DCG) in charge of Crisis and Disaster Management, Nnamdi Nwinyi, the CG described promotion as a privilege and not a right and encouraged those who could not make it this time not to be discouraged.
He explained that, the criteria for promotion apart from written examination is availability of vacancies and government’s financial capacity and budgetary provision for ministries, departments and agencies as promotion attracts commensurate pay rise.
He charged them not to be deterred but to continue to work hard as promotion is a continuous exercise and anyone who didn’t get now would surely get in subsequent exercise.
The Commandant General announced that the symbolic decoration exercise conducted at the Headquarters is to be replicated at the various State Commands and other formations of the Corps nationwide.
He appreciated President Muhammadu Buhari for the support and motivations given the Corps through provision of equipment, noting that such gesture among others will definitely translate to effective service delivery.

The CG also commended the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aragbesola, for his tireless efforts towards ensuring high welfare standard for NSCDC personnel.
Responding on behalf of others who were symbolically decorated with their new ranks, Deputy Commandant of Corps, Okere Vincent, pledged that the promotion exercise is a motivation to function optimally and assured of more dedication than before.
The Commandant General reminded the promoted officers that, promotion comes from God, hence, they should see themselves as privileged.
He charged them that, to whom much is given, much is expected, therefore, they should not take the opportunity for granted nor see it as an avenue to look down on their colleagues who could not make it this time around, instead, they should be diligent, put in more hardwork and contribute their quota to the development of the service.
He explained that his administration inherited backlogs of stagnated officers and assured that gradually all personnel who have been static on one rank for a long time will have cause to smile in due course.

Police Commissioner express displeasure over farmer, herders clash in Yobe
By: Our Reporter
The Commissioner of Police, CP Garba Ahmed, has expressed displeasure over the recent incidents of farmland disputes and farmer/herder clashes in the state. The command recorded 14 incidents during the period under review, resulting in loss of lives and several hospitalizations.
A statement from DSP Dungus Abdul Karim said the Commissioner of Police calls for a reassessment of how farmlands are allocated to farmers by local authorities, especially as the farming season approaches. The command is currently investigating an incident that claimed one life and left several others hospitalized. Suspects allegedly claim trespass and unlawful cultivation and resort to illegal and arbitrary means to evict intruders.
“On July 1, 2024, personnel from the Nangere Divisional Police Headquarters apprehended Mohammed Bulama (aka Mai Zarma), 65, the Village Head of Gazarkuma Village, Nangere LGA. He mobilized a gang of youth with deadly objects, including knives, cutlasses, bows, and arrows, and attacked a farmland belonging to Maigari Mato 65, at Gubate Village The attack resulted in the death of a tractor driver, Mohammed Kabiru, 35, and grievous injuries to Hassan Lawan.” The statement said.
In a similar vein, on June 26, 2024, at about 1600hr, police in Damagum arrested Abduwahab Abubakar, 40, and four other suspects for conspiring and attacking Hussaini Lawan Sani, 45, of Goba Abba Village. The assailants, carrying dangerous objects, attacked and robbed the victim of N250,000.00. The suspects are currently behind bars, and a discreet investigation is ongoing at the State CID.
“The recurring incidents are attributed to a lack of early reporting of aggressive trespass, previous unsettled disputes, and informal arrangements in allocating farmlands. Criminally minded community members are taking the law into their hands for ulterior motives. The command will not hesitate to arrest and prosecute culprits.” The statement added.
The Commissioner of Police further urges local authorities to address issues of farmland disputes and farmer/herder clashes by organizing seasonal community engagement to facilitate a long-lasting, peaceful partnership between farmers and herders. The command is equally committed to addressing agro-related conflict issues through designed programs for parties at various LGAs.
The Divisional Police Headquarters are directed to:
Encourage early referral of disputes
- Organize monthly community engagement of farm owners and herders
- Ensure robust surveillance on mischievous elements
He reiterated that mob action is a crime, and individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty by the court. Any assault on a person suspected of committing a crime or being arrested after committing a crime is a violation of human rights. He appreciates the public’s cooperation and urges them to continue reporting incidents to the authorities.
