“The attention of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Anambra State Command has been drawn to a video circulation in social media insinuating that Civil Defence officers and vehicle were attacked on Monday 30th of August, 2021 at Nenyi Umueri in Anambra East LGA.
“This is purely the handwork of crisis merchants and mischief makers who want to create panic and fear in the minds of Anambrarians and residents alike. The Command with other sister security agencies are working in synergy to ensure that security situation in Anambra State is intact.
“While appreciating the collaboration and support of the masses in beaming the activities of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps in the state, we wish to appeal for confirmation of every information before going to social media to avoid misleading the public”, the Corps said.
NSCDC quoted the Anambra State Commandant, Mr. Vincent Ogu as appreciating the Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, the good people of the state and other sister security agencies for their support and collaboration towards enhancing the security architecture of the state.
“He assures that safe custody of officers and men and operational vehicles in the command will continue to be his priority”, it stated.
