Beyond Batons: Oshiomhole Charges NSCDC To Match Criminals With Superior Technology.

Published

on

Senator Adams Oshiomhole, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Interior, has urged a comprehensive review of the NSCDC Establishment Act to ensure the agency is equipped for modern security demands. Speaking on Friday in Abuja at the book launch of FCT Commandant Olusola Odumosu, titled “Nigeria’s Security Dilemma: Rivalries and Implications Vol. 1,” the Senator argued that the current designation of the corps as a “civil” entity is mismatched with the realities of the hardened criminals its operatives face daily.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

  • Technological Parity: Senator Oshiomhole emphasized that because operatives are frequently deployed against heavily armed groups involved in illegal mining, oil bunkering, and the destruction of public assets, their weaponry must be just as sophisticated as those used by criminals.

  • A Call for Unity: The lawmaker advocated for improved intelligence sharing and stronger collaboration among security agencies, noting that individual agencies cannot overcome the country’s complex security challenges in isolation.

  • Overcoming Institutional Barriers: He explicitly criticized the lack of trust, inter-agency superiority battles, and judicial negligence that currently hinder progress.

  • Security Above Politics: Highlighting that national security should transcend political or institutional affiliations, he stated, “When it comes to security, there is no PDP, no APC… we need to understand that”.

Echoing the call for a united front, the book’s author, FCT Commandant Olusola Odumosu, remarked that inter-agency rivalry is a significant obstacle to a coordinated national response, asserting that “no one agency has it all” and “no one has a monopoly of wisdom”.

Is there any other aspect of this report, such as the specific details regarding the NSCDC Establishment Act, that you would like me to elaborate on?
