As Nigerians gear up for the Easter celebrations, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has mobilised more than 57,000 personnel nationwide to safeguard lives and property throughout the holiday period
The deployment, announced in a statement by the corps’ spokesperson, ACC Afolabi Babawale, is aimed at preventing potential security threats during one of the busiest festive seasons in the country. Officers have been assigned to strategic locations including churches, parks, shopping malls, and recreational centres.
Approved by the Commandant-General, Ahmed Abubakar Audi, the operation spans all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, with specialised tactical teams and intelligence units included in the rollout to secure critical national infrastructure.
Zonal commanders and state heads have also been directed to intensify surveillance within their areas, particularly in high-traffic zones. These locations will see a mix of visible patrols and discreet intelligence monitoring to deter criminal activities.
Audi stressed the need for strong collaboration among security agencies and efficient information sharing, noting that swift response strategies are vital to maintaining peace.
Our goal is to ensure a seamless and secure Easter celebration for all Nigerians. We are working closely with other security agencies to maintain law and order, and we urge citizens to remain vigilant and cooperate with security operatives.
