Oyo NSCDC Commandant urges Nigerians to embrace peace
The Oyo State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Stephen Bello, on Thursday called on Nigerians to embrace peace during the New Year celebration.
Bello, who made the call in Ibadan while addressing officers of the Oyo State command, said there was need to maintain the peace against the background of the spate of bombings in the country.
``I urge our people to use the period in expressing love to one another. We should continually pray for the peace and unity of our great nation,’’ Bello said.
While commending the officers for their efforts in tackling vandals in the state, Bello solicited the cooperation of residents in the fight against crime.
He also implored parents and guardians to ensure that their wards desisted from exploding firecrackers during the celebration, saying hoodlums could take advantage of this to perpetrate crime.
Bello further said that residents would be well protected during the period as NSCDC personnel would be deployed all over the state, especially on New Year Eve.
``Measures have been put in place for adequate security. I will also add that to prevent fire outbreaks, petroleum products should not be hoarded in the house, considering the dry season,’’ he said.
