The Commandant-General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Dr Ahmed Audi has assured Nigerians that a highly coordinated approach has been put in place to avert the looming threat of attacks on airport facilities across the country.
A statement on Thursday by the spokesperson of the Corps, Olusola Odumosu said the NSCDC boss, who in a swift reaction to an intelligence report, had directed commandants of all states commands with airports to immediately liaise with the Airports Management Authorities and other relevant stakeholders to fortify the internal security mechanism of the facilities.
He said that the move had also become imperative in order to elicit credible intelligence that would not only prevent such attacks but also to bring those behind the purported acts to book.
The CG said the Corps could not afford to treat the security of Nigerians with kid gloves, hence, his marching order to all concerned state commandants to adequately deploy operatives from specialized units such as Counter-Terrorism, Anti-Vandalism, Crisis and Disaster Management as well as Intelligence and Surveillance personnel for covert operations to all the airports in the country.
He however called on all Nigerians to see the security of the Nation as everyone’s business and not an exclusive preserve of security agencies alone by volunteering credible information about any suspicious movement or criminals activities, while assuring of his organisation’s commitment to protect the identity of informants.
