Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC Deploys 1,100 Personnel for Christmas, New Year Security in Bauchi
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Bauchi State Command, has deployed 1,100 personnel across the state to ensure the safety of lives and property during the 2025 Christmas and New Year festivities.
The State Commandant, Oloyede Oyerinde, disclosed this in a statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Saminu Yusuf, on Tuesday.
According to Oyerinde, the security arrangement comprises both covert and overt operations, including joint patrols of identified flashpoints, as well as the protection of critical national assets and infrastructure.
He said personnel would be strategically stationed at worship centres, motor parks, eateries, banks, hotels, and other public places across the state to prevent criminal activities throughout the festive period.
The Commandant directed Area Commanders, Divisional Officers, and other operatives to remain diligent, focused, and professional in the discharge of their duties, while intensifying patrols and maintaining effective control of public spaces before, during, and after the celebrations.
“He emphasised the need for officers and men to be proactive and vigilant to ensure a peaceful and hitch-free festive season,” the statement said.
Oyerinde also advised residents to avoid actions capable of breaching public peace, urging them to promptly report any suspicious movements or activities to the nearest NSCDC office for swift response.
He reassured residents of adequate security coverage, noting that the Corps is working in synergy with other security agencies to maintain law and order during the festive period.
The Commandant further extended Christmas and New Year goodwill messages to officers and men of the Corps, as well as residents of the state, reaffirming the NSCDC Bauchi State Command’s commitment to the protection of lives and property.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
