Sit-At-Home: NSCDC Denies Attacks On Its Personnel, Facilities In Anambra

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Anambra State Command, Monday, denied that its personnel and facilities were attacked in the state by promoters of the sit-at-home order.

The denial followed a video circulating in the social media insinuating that civil defence officers and their vehicle were attacked today at Nenyi, Umueri in Anambra East Local Government Area. 

Mr Edwin Okadigbo, the state public relations officer of the corps, disclosed this in a statement he made available to THE WHISTLER in Awka.

Okadigbo, a deputy superintendent of the corps, stated that, “We wish to state that there is no iota of truth in the video in circulation. All NSCDC facilities in Anambra State are safe and calm.

“In addition, all operational vehicles in the state deployed for an assignment are without any untoward incident today. This is purely the handiwork of crises merchants and mischief-makers who want to create panic and fear on the minds of Anambrarians and residents alike.

“The command with other sister security agencies are working in synergy to ensure that the security situation in Anambra State is intact.

“While appreciating the collaboration and support of the masses in beaming the activities of the NSCDC in the state, we wish to appeal for confirmation of information before going to social media to avoid misleading the public.”
