NSCDC employs family members of personnel killed by bandits in Kaduna
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) presented employment letters on Tuesday to the families of the seven personnel killed by bandits in Kaduna State.
On Jan. 23, 2023, seven personnel of the NSCDC Kaduna command were ambushed and killed by bandits while on official duty in Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of the state.
The employment letters were presented to the families by the NSCDC commandant in Kaduna state, Idris Adah.
Mr Adah said the gesture was in fulfilment of the promise made by the commandant general, Ahmed Audi, to the families of the deceased.
“Today it’s with joy that I present to you the CG’s good deeds by handing over the appointment letters to the next of kin of the late officers.
“This is in fulfilment of the CG’s promise to the family; this, however, cannot replace the lives of our loved ones,” he added.
Mr Adah therefore challenged the beneficiaries to do their best and represent their families with honour and dignity.
The commandant said that the Corps remained committed to its responsibility of protecting critical national assets.
“We are working round the clock with other security agencies to fight crime in the state so that we all can sleep with our two eyes closed,” Mr Adah said.
He warned that anyone caught vandalising critical national assets would be arrested and prosecuted.
Baba Audi-Landan, who spoke on behalf of the beneficiaries, appreciated the CG for fulfilling the promise.
He said the appointments given to them would benefit not only their families but society at large.
