Kaduna State Bolsters Security Collaboration with NSCDC
The Honourable Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Dr. Sule Shu’aibu (SAN), alongside his management team, received the State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Muhammad Nuhu Bello, on a courtesy visit to the ministry.
Commandant Bello reaffirmed the NSCDC’s unwavering commitment to strengthening security cooperation in Kaduna State. He highlighted the Corps’ active role in the ongoing Joint Task Force operations aimed at curbing urban crimes. According to him, the NSCDC continues to play a critical part in intelligence gathering and information sharing with the Department of State Services (DSS), Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), National Intelligence Agency (NIA), and the Nigeria Police Force. These collaborative efforts, he stressed, are vital in addressing pressing security threats, including phone snatching, kidnapping, cattle rustling, banditry, and illegal mining—a menace he warned could escalate into larger conflicts if unchecked.
The Commandant also appealed for logistical support, particularly the provision of an operational vehicle, to enhance the Corps’ mobility and field effectiveness in tackling criminal activities across the state.
In his response, Dr. Shu’aibu commended the NSCDC for its steadfast partnership and reiterated the Kaduna State Government’s readiness to deepen collaboration. He emphasized the need for all arrests made by security agencies to be promptly reported to the ministry for proper follow-up, prosecution, and conviction in court. This, he noted, would not only strengthen the rule of law but also serve as a deterrent to criminal elements.
The Commissioner expressed appreciation for the visit and assured the NSCDC of the ministry’s continued support. He further underscored the importance of stronger inter-agency synergy in safeguarding lives and property, pledging that the government remains resolute in its commitment to securing every community in Kaduna State.
