Mr Bala Bawa-Bodinga, the Kano State Commandant, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), has inaugurated a new outpost at Na’ibawa Eastern Bypass in Kumbotso Local Government Area of the state.
Bawa-Bodinga, while inaugurating the project on Friday, said the initiative was meant to enhance community policing and strengthen security presence in the area.
The commandant underscored the importance of collective responsibility in ensuring secured society, stressing that security issue should not be left to security agencies alone.
He commended the Na’ibawa Eastern Bypass community leadership, led by Mr Abubakar Ibrahim-Diso, for constructing the edifice, calling for continuous collaboration between residents and NSCDC for effective service delivery.
Bawa-Bodinga assured the community of 24 hours surveillance and patrols by the newly established rapid response team (RRT), adding that the corps remained committed to safeguarding lives and property.
The commandant also cautioned NSCDC personnel against corruption and human rights violations, while calling for strict adherence to the corps’ professional ethics and core mandates.
In his remarks, the community chairman, Mr Diso, pledged sustained support and cooperation for the corps to discharge their mandate.
He revealed plans to build an additional structure in the area that would provide no fewer than 15 office accommodation.
Diso confirmed that the establishment of the outpost had improved the security situation, reduced criminal activities such as thuggery and phone snatching, and boosted property values in the area.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the commandant donated stationaries and other office materials in support of the outpost. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
