Agboola enjoined His Royal Highness, his Chiefs and indigenes of Iwo town to furnish the Corps with timely information with the assurance that such information shall be treated with strict confidence.

The Commandant assured the Oluwo of Iwo of effective service delivery of the Corps’ core mandate and adequate security of life and property of the indigenes.

Oba Akanbi in his response appreciated the Commandant for his visit, commended the activities and discipline of the NSCDC in the State, promising Agboola support from the throne and Community.

The Oluwo of Iwo, who guided the Commandant and his aides through the history of the ancient town and its uniqueness, stated that the throne is designed to keep orderliness and elevate her citizens from poverty and insecurity.

The Royal Father stressed the need to secure the country and rid the nation of all those that are bent on destroying the labour and sacrifice of our heroes.

In the meantime, the Commandant visited the Iwo Divisional Command of the Corps, charged them on professionalism, discipline and prompt response to emergency.
