The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Jigawa State Command, has deployed 1, 050 personnel for the protection of lives and properties of citizens during Christmas and New Year celebrations in the state.
NSCDC State Commandant, Musa Alhaji Mala stated this in a statement issued to newsmen in Dutse.
He said the personnel were mobilized across the 27 local government areas in the state with emphasis on strategic places such as worship and recreational centres, government installations, motor parks, markets, malls, and other vulnerable spots.
The commandant, however, urged residents to be vigilant, and security-conscious and report any suspicious movements to the nearest security formation.
He advised parents to control and monitor the activities of their wards, especially the use of knockouts, underaged and reckless driving as such acts endanger their lives and that of innocent members of the public.
NSCDC, therefore, urged citizens to always be cautious and report any suspected movement to security agencies.
