The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Command in Kano State has deployed 3,400 personnel to provide security for participants of planned protests in the state.
Mohammad Falala, the Commandant of the Corps, revealed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday, emphasizing proactive measures taken by the command to ensure security before and after the protests in Kano State.
According to Falala, the command is collaborating with other security agencies to ensure that residents can participate peacefully without threats to their lives or property.
“An operational order has been issued to Area Commanders and Divisional Officers across the 44 LGAs to provide security at public buildings such as markets, banks, churches, mosques, recreation centres, and motor parks,” he said.
Falala assured law-abiding residents of their safety, stating that sufficient security personnel had been deployed to cover the protests.
However, the commandant warned that any acts capable of causing confusion during the protest would not be tolerated, and those disobeying orders would be arrested and prosecuted.
