As the 2023 general elections approach, officers and men of Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps NSCDC, Anambra state Command have been charged to live up to their responsibilities, exhibit a high level of professionalism, shun all forms of corrupt practices, be civil and apolitical by the ethics of the Corps.
The State Commandant, Mr. Isidore C. Chikere, gave the charge recently at a seminar organised for Area Commanders, Divisional Officers, Heads of Department, and Units aimed at widening their operational capabilities.
Commandant Chikere noted that the training was necessary to build the competence and capabilities required of supervisory officers to successfully plan and execute operations aside from acquiring the knowledge required of them to perform before, during, and after the general elections.
Delivering a lecture on Intelligence gathering and report writing, the Director of the Department of State Services DSS, Anambra state Command, Mr. Enoch Pawa represented by Barr. Joseph Okechi noted that most security breaches experienced in the country were due to a lack of synergy among security agencies.
He revealed that the nation requires sincere intelligence information sharing and collaboration among relevant security stakeholders for a crime-free environment.
Also speaking on the topic “Arrest, Bail and Preventive Justice” the command legal officer SC. Adedayo Awodun enumerated the rules guiding the administration of criminal justice in the country and human rights.
In his lecture on the proper way of obtaining a statement from a suspect, Assistant Commandant Amadi Marcel warned against the most common mistakes that can jeopardise the successful prosecution of the suspect (s) at the law court.
The Coordinator of the lecture series, Deputy Commandant Francis Nnadi said the seminar has provided a rare opportunity for participants to perform above board within their respective areas of responsibility in a bid to boost security and sustain surveillance in and around the state.
