The Commandant, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Kaduna Command, CC Idris Yahaya Adah, has warned officers and men of the corps against involving themselves in partisan politics.

He equally urged men of the civil defence corps not to get involved in nefarious activities that could be detrimental to the corporate existence and image of the corps.

Addressing divisional officers, head of departments, unit heads and officers and men under his command Thursday, CC Adah reminded the officers and men of the mandates of the corps, adding that, “as part of our mandates, we are to protect lives, properties, Independent National Electoral Commission offices (INEC), and the national assets across the 23 local government areas of the state.

“You are to carry out your duties with professionalism and neutrality, before, during and after the election. You must refrain from behaviours that could be detrimental to the corps. Any officer caught would be severely punished. 

“I want to assure residents of Kaduna state of adequate security coverage during the general elections. Prior to the election, officers were being trained, retrained on how to conduct themselves during election,” Adah said.
