The Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Dr Ahmed Audi has said efforts are in top gear to get Kaduna abducted students released, insisting that with the collaborative efforts of all security agencies, there would be speedy recovery of the students.
The CG gave the assurance to Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani while on a visit to the state. He said the 200 students and teachers of Government Secondary School and LEA Primary School in Kuriga Chikun LGA in Kaduna would be rescued from their abductors and brought home safely.
Audi condemned such act of sabotage describing it as very unfortunate and worrisome. He however assured the Kaduna State Governor that efforts are on top gear as the security agencies are relentlessly working to effect the release of the students and their teachers.
He said: @Your Excellency Sir, as a matter of concern let me on behalf of the NSCDC management and Personnel across the nation say that we are ready to work in collaboration with all relevant security agencies with full mechanisms and security apparatus put in place to see that the perpetrators of this heinous crime do not go Scot free.
“The NSCDC remains a key actor in the nation’s internal security and the lead agency in the Safe Schools Initiative; currently we are in strong synergy with the Nigerian Army, the Police and others for the quick and safe return of the abducted students”.
The NSCDC boss commended the governor for providing the necessary logistics for the State Command to function effectively while also praying for the allocation of a befitting command permanent site and Operational Vehicles that would enhance the discharge of the Corps’ statutory mandate in Safeguarding all Critical National Assets and Infrastructure across the State.
He further appealed to various communities in Kaduna State to work closely with security agencies by providing actionable intelligence and information in order to achieve the desired success and results afterwards.
The Governor of Kaduna State in his response, lauded the good gesture exhibited by the CG and the effective collaboration of the Corps with the Armed Forces, Nigeria Police, and the DSS amongst others.
He hinted that all critical stakeholders must play active roles to forestall criminalities and frustrate the evil men whose delight is to disrupt the peace and stability of the good people of Kaduna State.
