In a bid to have a crime free yuletide season, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Ondo Command has deployed 1750 of its personnel for adequate security across the State.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, ASCI Daniel Aidamenbor on Sunday and made available to Newsmen.
The release stated that the State Commandant, Dr. Hammed Abodunrin while giving the assurance of adequate security during and after the yuletide celebration, warned personnel against all forms of unprofessional conduct in the discharge of their duties.
Commandant Abodunrin declared total clampdown on all hoodlums, vandals and perpetrators of crime within the State.
He directed further that the Corps’ Counter Terrorism Unit, Agro Rangers Squad, Intelligence and Investigation team, Rapid Response Squad, the Armed Squad and the Special Female Squad must man identified hot spots to make the celebration a hitch-free one.
