The Commandant of the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Olusola Odumosu, has on Tuesday, declare war on any vandals and those trying to sabotage the country's economic system - those destroying government's properties. He made the declaration while taking over the power of command from his predecessor, Peter Maigari in Abuja. The Commandant pledged that measures would be put in place to make the FCT a safe haven for for everyone.
He said, “I have declared war on vandals of traffic lights and communication equipment, economic saboteurs, criminals, and manhole thieves among others. These are all critical assets that contribute to the day-to-day existence of Nigerians.
“NSCDC, as the lead agency to fight criminals who are sabotaging the sectors under my leadership, I will ensure that these criminals are put in their place.”
Odumosu also hinted that steps and plans are in the works to help curb the prevalence of crimes in the Federal Capital Territory.
He stated “I have mapped out strategies and that will involve the deployment of more men. We will also increase patrols during the day and night. One of the reasons why these saboteurs misbehave is the fact that they do not see enough security presence around these facilities. The FCT command will improve on that.
“I will rejuvenate the Critical National Assets and Infrastructure Unit which I will start with because it is a serious business. The criminals cannot subject the government to unnecessary expenditures.
“I want to say on this note that as I am taking over leadership, I will not disappoint the Commandant General and the people of FCT. I will do my best. I am here to serve.”
Odumosu further obliged the personnels to be diligent at work while remaining loyal to the country they serve.
The commandant said “You see how the CG operates and we are going to work very assiduously to key in.
“I want to encourage those of you who before now had lost hope on the job or did not feel motivated, I want to tell you that it is going to be different. I am a hard worker and so if you want to work with me, you must be hard working.”
Maigari in his last words advised personnels to be cooperative with the new commandant to improve the FCT command.
