Yoruba nation agitation: NSCDC puts personnel on red alert in Ondo

The Ondo State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, has ordered divisional officers and tactical teams to be on red alert and ward off any incursion into the state by Oodua Nation agitators.

The NSCDC commandant in the state, Oluyemi Ibiloye, who stated this at the weekly muster parade where the corps’ operations during the last Eid-el Fitr celebration were reviewed, also ordered the teams to be on standby for other miscreants.

Ibiloye, in a statement made available to newsmen by the command’s spokesperson, Aidamenbor Daniel, said: “The Intelligence Department, Armed Squad, Counter-Terrorism Unit, Rapid Response Squad and operations are to be on red alert to ensure that the security breach that took place in Oyo State does not happen in Ondo State.”

According to him, this has become imperative, especially now that various political parties are having their rallies in the state with mixed crowds in attendance.
