The Niger State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Emmanuel Ojeniyi, has warned hoodlums and persons vandalising pipelines in the state to keep off from such criminal acts and relocate from the state to avoid the wrath of the law.
Ojeniyi stated this on Wednesday during an interactive session with journalists, adding that his officers and men has been adequately mobilised to patrol flash points with a view to arresting and clearing the state of vandals.
He said: “We have detailed some officers to comb areas where pipelines are located and also met with traditional rulers in such places for their maximum support in the efforts to eradicate vandalism in the state.
“The Emirs and other royal fathers in the state have given us their words to work with us in flushing out vandals hibernating in villages with petroleum products pipelines.”
Ojeniyi said the NSCDC will continue to work assiduously towards providing security to the people, adding that the organisation will also continue to work in synergy with other security outfits so that “people can sleep with all eyes closed in the state”.
The commandant said undercover operatives were being deployed to motor parks in the state, while members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers and other stakeholders in the transport industry were being sensitised on the need to be vigilant in fishing out suspicious persons in the parks.
He expressed appreciationon the high level of support the state Governor, Dr. Muazu Babangida Aliyu, has been giving to the command and other security agencies in the state.
Ojeniyi said that the command however needed more vehicles for quick response to emergency situations and enhanced patrol of flash points.
