THE Commandant General of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Alhaji Abdullahi Gana, has ordered a crackdown on illegal private guard companies across the country.
Gana said the move was a security measure to curb the proliferation of illegal private guard companies. Consequently, he has directed that a Joint Task Force (JTF) be constituted between the Corps and state chapters of the Association of Licensed Private Security Practitioners of Nigeria (ALPSPN).
Ondo State Commandant of the NSCDC, Pedro Awili Ideba, disclosed this in Akure while inaugurating the JTF. A statement by the state Command spokesperson, Oladapo Samuel, said that the rate at which illegal private guard companies were springing up was worrisome. He said that the situation was a threat to national security.
It has become essential for employers to thoroughly verify the background of security guards and other prospective employees before hiring them into their homes or businesses. Our society is filled with impostors posing as cleaners, drivers, shop assistants, security guards, etc.
