The Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Ahmed Abubakar Audi, has said the Corps will deploy a tactical team to end the vandalism and removal of manhole covers across the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

According to a statement today by Olusola Odumosu, the spokesman of the NSCDC, he made this commitment during a visit to the Minister of FCT, Muhammad Musa Bello, where he expressed concern about the disturbing criminal trend of vandalism of public infrastructure in the city, especially manhole covers.

While speaking at the meeting, the FCT Minister hailed the CG for his efforts to reposition the Corps since his appointment, adding that; “because of the scale and size of the FCT, your organisation needs additional support and the deployment of your tactical team is very important.

He lamented the scale of expenditure incurred to maintain damaged or vandalised infrastructure and charged the Corps to go a step further by targeting the markets where these items are sold.
