#NSCDC Training 5000 New Intakes, We Are Not Recruiting—-Ahmed Audi, Commandant General (CG) of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), says the corps is not recruiting for now, but only training its 5,000 new intakes.

The CG said this on Thursday during the Corps’ 2022 second quarter conference in Abuja.

Newsmen reports that the new recruits are for the 2019 intake, expected to pass out by July 7.

Audi advised applicants not to fall prey to dupes circulating false NSCDC recruitment portals on social media platforms.

He warned that anyone involved in such scam was liable to face the law once apprehended.

The CG also announced the establishment of a new squad tagged “Transport Marshals”, saddled with the responsibility of providing physical security to Nigeria’s transportation infrastructure.

Audi said that the Corps, in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Transportation, agreed to take the proactive step to secure the country’s marine, aviation, railway and road transportation sectors’ infrastructure, including bus terminals among others.

He charged all state Commandants to select no fewer than 20 young vibrant, smart, committed and healthy personnel to be trained for the new squad.

“The Corps will select the first set of personnel who will be made to undergo three months intensive training at the first instance.

“This is to adequately prepare them for the task ahead as we take proactive steps towards addressing the spate of insecurity in the country,” he said.

The CG further said that from April to June, NSCDC Special Intelligence Squad had arrested over 200 suspected criminals in different parts of the country.

“They have in turn handed over suspected vandals and oil thieves to the various state Commands for further investigation and appropriate prosecution,” he said.

He tasked officers on the need to work hard in gathering intelligence reports and prompt supply of information for further action.

According to him, over 500 junior personnel are currently undergoing arms training.

He said that it was important for every security personnel to identify rifles and be able to use them.

The NSCDC boss said that the corps continued to map out new strategies to secure Nigerians and adequately protect critical national assets and infrastructure

Bugaje Accuse APC of Using Money, EFCC Threats To Weaken PDP Through Defections

Bugaje Accuse APC of Using Money, EFCC Threats To Weaken PDP Through Defections—-Former member of the House of Representatives and ex-presidential adviser Dr. Usman Bugaje has accused Nigeria’s ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), of systematically using money to induce defections from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Speaking in an interview with Arise News, Bugaje claimed that the APC has been aggressively targeting opposition figures, leveraging both financial incentives and potential legal threats.

His words: “Well, for what I know—and I don’t claim to know everything—the APC is basically using money to buy off PDP.

“Some say it’s a carrot and stick approach. The money is the carrot. What’s the stick? Possibly the EFCC. They might do these kinds of things. This has been the practice since the time of President Obasanjo.”

Bugaje argued that the root cause of the ongoing wave of defections is money, warning that such practices pose a grave threat to Nigeria’s democratic system.

He said: “For me, this is a very serious issue. This should be the center of our political discourse. As long as money remains the determining factor, then that’s the end of democracy and the end of politics.”

His comments come in the wake of a major political shake-up in Delta State, where Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, who was also the PDP’s 2023 vice-presidential candidate, defected to the APC. They were joined by members of the National Assembly, State Assembly, and several local government chairmen.

Bugaje stated that he is skeptical about the PDP’s ability to function as an effective opposition.

“There has not been real opposition since the moment Nyesom Wike did what he did,” Bugaje said.

“The PDP missed its chance to be a viable opposition party. Just look at their conduct on major national issues—from emergency rule debates to budget discussions. They failed to act like an opposition,” he added.
