The Osun State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Michael Adaralewa, has urged Muslim faithful across the country to be watchful, imbibe the culture of moderation, and celebrate within the confines of the law during this year’s Eid-el-Fitr celebration.

The Osun NSCDC boss also appealed to residents to report suspicious movements and people in their environment to the nearest security agency.

Commandant Adaralewa while addressing officers and men at the state command in Osogbo, Osun State capital, noted on Monday that a total of 1,500 personnel were drawn from the Special Female Squad, Swift Action Response, Anti-vandalism Unit, Armed Squad, Crisis Management Unit, Intelligence and surveillance unit, and Anti-Kidnapping and Cultism unit for overt and covert operations for adequate security of lives and property.

A statement by the Command’s Spokesperson, Kehinde Adeleke, noted that the commandant charged the personnel to work in synergy with other sister agencies in the state and discharge their duties with diligence and a high level of professionalism for a hitch-free celebration.

Commandant Adaralewa stressed further that the patrol team would cover the state while some personnel would be deployed to strategic locations, also praying grounds, recreation centres, malls, marketplaces, and critical national assets will be secured before during, and after the celebrations.
