The Anambra command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps says it has arrested eight suspected unlicensed private security guards with four pump action guns.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that some of the suspects were impersonating the Anambra Vigilance Group while others were hired by hotels to provide security services, in spite of knowing that the outfits were not licensed or registered,” NAN quoted the NSCDC commandant as saying.“Meanwhile, four pump action guns with 16 live cartridges were also recovered from them.”
“All the suspects are currently undergoing investigation, after which they would be charged to court and prosecuted,” he said.“This raid is in continuation of the execution of the NSCDC mandate and we will not leave any stone unturned in discharging our responsibilities.” The commandant urged licensed private guard companies to adhere to the law and report any suspicious activities or security outfits to the corps for prompt action.
