Tough Times Awaits Vandals, Warns NSCDC FCT Commandant
By: Michael Mike
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) FCT Commandant, Mr Olusola Odumosu has said that officers and men of the Command are dedicated to actively confront and combat vandals in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja
Odumosu said this while flagging-off a three day capacity building workshop for 280 personnel on arms bearing to foster service delivery.
He said that officers and men of the Command are ready to take the fight against criminals to their doorstep as he charged personnel to be firm when dealing with vandals and miscreants.
“While being civil in your approach, duty and operations, I also encourage you to be firm on criminals because FCT is not the place for them.
“At the end of the training we are going to strategise in such a way that residents of the FCT will know about the existence of NSCDC FCT command.
“Because we are going to take the fight to the door steps of all criminals, scavengers, vandals and all who make life unbearable for residents,” he said.
Odumosu said that the trained personnel were drawn from area commands, divisional offices, departments and units of the Command.
He further said that after the training, trained officers and men will be deployed to strategic areas to carry out some strategic security assignments.
“The training couldn’t have come at a better time than this in view of the various security challenges we are experiencing in the Territory.
“I find it necessary to organize this training and retraining programme such that it would refresh our skills and ability to deliver on the mandate given to us,” he said.
The Commandant reiterated the Commandant General (CG) Ahmed Audi’s commitment to ensure better service delivery through training and re-training of personnel.
Odumosu warned against accidental discharge, adding that bearing arms does not give any personnel the right to humiliate or harass any member of the public.
“I will not condone any form of accidental discharge from anyone so anyone who is trigger happy should have a rethink because this is not the place to be.
“You must observe the rules of engagement anytime you are on duty and obey the words of command, the use of discretion when necessary is allowed but not at the detriment of the people you are meant to protect.
He recalled that the Command had carried out various security patrols which had resulted in the arrest of no fewer than 85 scavengers, miscreants and criminals who hide under the pretense of being destitute to carry out nefarious activities.

By: Zagazola Makama
A notorious bandit leader who called himself Shekau, because of his notoriety, operating around the Narewo River bank in Kachia Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State, has been ambushed and killed by a rival faction led by another bandit leader, Shumo.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that Shumo, an indigene of Ragadada, Buruku in Birnin Gwari LGA, launched the attack in retaliation for a previous assault by Shekau, who had reportedly seized his weapons and killed several of his fighters.
It was gathered that the ambush paid off as Shekau was killed alongside some of his lieutenants during the ambush on March 5, 2025.
The neutralized bandits were buried by individuals identified as Yellow Million, Baba Kusa, and an imam from Kabode village, Kachia LGA.
Though, bandits activities in Kaduna has drastically stepped down due to the non Kinetic efforts of the Kaduna State government and security agencies but ongoing rivalries among bandit factions operating in the region has also intensified with multiple casualties reported in recent times.
