Democracy Day: NSCDC Calls Nigerians to Join Fight Against Insecurity
By: Michael Mike
The Commandant General (CG) of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Dr Ahmed Audi has appealed to Nigerians to join in the fight against insecurity in order to sustain the nation’s democratic ideals.
He made the appeal in a statement he gave while briefing officers and men at the Corps’ National Headquarters, Abuja, on Monday to commemorate Nigeria’s Democracy Day.
Audi said that it was imperative for citizens to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration by embracing his policies and programmes for a better Nigeria.
He stated that security agencies require the cooperation and support of citizens to effectively ensure national security.
He called on citizens to endeavour to provide credible information that could help nip crime in the bud.
“If you see something, do not waste time in saying something,” he advised.
The NSCDC boss urged Nigerians to engrain the spirit of national consciousness to move the nation forward, noting that only a safe and secured environment could guarantee prosperity and growth of Nigeria’s democracy.
“A rise in national security consciousness is the first step towards creating a nation with shared sense of national identity.
“It also fosters common understanding amongst different ethnic groups, religion, tribes, and organisations.
“We have to develop a strong feeling of love, commitment, loyalty and affection that enables us to work together for the growth, progress and development of this country,” he said.
He further called on government at all levels to give maximum support to security agencies to function effectively in crime fighting and prevention.
“We will appreciate more governmental support to help us discharge our duties optimally,” he said.
He advocated the need for security agencies to heed the advice of President Tinubu on synergy and collaboration.
“We have to promote the culture of synergy and collaboration amongst ourselves.
“We must embrace the advice Mr President gave us recently regarding synergy and collaboration for effective service delivery,” he said.
“The task of eradicating crimes and criminality in the country required a formidable internal security apparatus that must be opposed to unhealthy rivalry.
He congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all Nigerians on the occasion of democacy day celebrations and assured that NSCDC under his leadership will not derail but play its part with renewed vigour for the betterment of Nigeria.
“Preserving Nigeria’s democracy is a collective effort in which, protecting her people and critical national assets is our role.
“We will continue to do our best in discharging our constitutional responsibility to the nation effectively without compromise.” the CG said.

Troops Launch Operation Munzo, Neutralize Terror Kingpin Mati, Several Fighters
And Recover Weapons in Zamfara

The Troops under the Headquarters Operation Forest Yakin (HQOPFY) have commenced “Operation Munzo,” a special clearance operation targeting terrorist camps in Zamfara State.
Zagazola Makama gathered from intelligence sources that the operation kicked off from Forward Operating Base (FOB) Bagega in Anka Local Government Area, with troops advancing through Tibuki and Sabuwar Tunga villages to the notorious Mati terrorist camps.
The sources said heavy resistance was encountered as the terrorists engaged the advancing troops with light and support weapons, including rocket-propelled grenades. However, the troops responded with superior firepower, neutralising scores of the insurgents in the process.
Intercepts suggest that the terror kingpin known as Mati, believed to be the mastermind of several attacks in the area, was killed along with several of his fighters during the fierce exchange.
A soldier attached to the Special Boat Service (SBS) sustained a gunshot wound to the lower rib and has since been stabilised and evacuated for treatment.
Items recovered from the scene include one PKT rifle with two belts and 90 rounds of 7.62mm NATO ammunition, five AK-47 rifles, and 12 magazines containing 487 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition.
Also recovered were three Baofeng radios with chargers, military and police uniforms, and other combat gear. Three motorcycles belonging to the terrorists were destroyed on site, while rustled cattle found at the camp were also eliminated.
All terrorist life-support structures in the Mati camp were completely burnt and destroyed during the operation. However, two tyres of a combat support vehicle were damaged, and another vehicle sustained a broken lower arm.
In a separate movement, logistics vehicles advancing from FOB Bagega to FOB Dan Gulbi at about 9:15 a.m. came under ambush near a bridge. The troops promptly repelled the attack.
While casualty figures on the side of the attackers remain unconfirmed, one soldier sustained injuries and is reported to be in stable condition.
“Operation Munzo” is expected to continue in the coming days as troops intensify efforts to dismantle terrorist enclaves across Zamfara’s forested zones.
