Posted by A crackdown on vandals of electrical transformers and other power distribution facilities in the state has been ordered by Dr. Michael Adaralewa, the Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) at Oyo State Command.
This was revealed by the command’s spokesperson, DSC Samuel Opebiyi, in a statement provided to reporters in Ibadan on Wednesday.
Opebiyi claims that during the command’s monthly briefing at its headquarters in Ibadan, the commandant gave the directive while speaking to the Area Commanders, Divisional Officers, Heads of Units, and Heads of Departments.
Concerning the increasing number of vandalism incidents in various regions of Oyo State that target power transformers and other energy distribution facilities, Adaralewa voiced worry.
“All Area Commanders and Divisional Officers in Oyo State have been given the command to pursue vandals who have damaged transformers and other electricity distribution infrastructure.
“In order to prevent the expected increase in criminal actions, I also request greater security presence at religious centers on Fridays, Sundays, and during the holiday season,” Adaralewa declared.
The commandant gave the officers praise for their hard work and urged them to keep up their moral standards when performing their jobs.
As the year was rapidly coming to a conclusion, Adaralewa exhorted all of the corps’ officers and men to prepare for the massive challenge ahead.
He gave the Oyo State residents confidence in the NSCDC’s steadfast commitment to safeguarding people and property both during and after the holiday season.
The examination of reports from numerous command-level departments, units, and divisions was one of the meeting’s other main features.
There was discussion and agreement on strategies and instructions intended to increase the corps’ efficacy and service delivery to the people of Oyo State. In NAN
