By Muhammed Mamman
Damaturu, Sept. 12, 2016 (NAN) Dr Mohammed Fari, Commandant, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Yobe, said the command had established a special surveillance squad to monitor movement of persons in the state.
Fari told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Damaturu that 1,583 personnel had been deployed to beef up security at Eid-prayer grounds, public places and streets during the Sallah period and beyond.
The commandant called on members of the public to be vigilant and report suspicious persons, movements and objects in their communities, to security agencies.
“Community participation in the fight against crime has become a global trend; we should work together to defeat security challenges for the betterment of our societies.
“We are working in collaboration with other security organisations towards ensuring hitch-free Eid-El-Kabir celebration throughout the state, particularly in communities liberated from insurgents,’’ he said. (NAN)
