The Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Kaduna State Command, has warned bandits and criminals to repent or face the consequences of their heinous actions.
The new Commandant of the command, Nuhu Muhammad, gave the warning during the visit of acting Zonal Commander, NSCDC Zone B, Kaduna, Amos Abiodun, on Friday in Kaduna.
Mr Muhammad said criminals disturbing the peace and stability of the state should repent from their nefarious acts and be good citizens, or face the consequences of their criminal behaviours.
He explained that the mandate of NSCDC as a security agency was to protect lives, property and critical national assets and infrastructure.
Mr Muhammad said the NSCDC in Kaduna State would pursue its mandates vigorously.
The commandant appealed to residents across the state to always volunteer information on suspected criminals around their environments to the corps and other security agencies for necessary action.
He reassured Kaduna residents of the safety of their lives and property.
He said, “They should go to their beds and sleep with their two eyes closed. NSCDC personnel have been deployed to every nook and cranny of the state to guard against enemy attacks.”
He vowed to eliminate criminal activities bedevilling the state in synergy with sister security agencies.
In his remarks, the acting zonal commander pledged support for the new state commandant and charged the personnel to discharge their duties without fear or favour.
The new commandant took over from his predecessor, Lucy Fakoya, on September 6.
