The Commandant, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command, Dr Olusola Odumosu, has deployed 5,112 personnel to beef up security in the capital city before and during the Sallah celebration.
In a statement on Thursday by the spokesman of the corps, Samuel Idoko, Odumosu said the deployment would cover all nook and crannies of the six area councils.
He warned miscreants, vandals and other mischief makers to keep off Critical National Assets and Infrastructure, stressing that the Corps would not hesitate to bring the full weight of the law on anyone caught or found culpable.
Odumosu also warned against burning tyres on the road as it affects the integrity of the road and constitutes an act of vandalism, saying anyone caught would be made to face the law.
The Commandant issued a stern warning to those who engage in criminal acts of vandalism against public infrastructure, particularly during festive seasons.
He emphasised the widespread deployment of security personnel throughout the FCT and assured that anyone apprehended while committing such offences would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
