Plans to dispatch people to Jigawa State border areas in order to combat criminal activities have been finalized by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
In a statement released by the NSCDC Spokesperson in Jigawa, DSC Adamu Shehu, the Commandant, Muhammad Danjuma, revealed this information during a courtesy visit from retired AVM Haruna Umar, the National Center for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons’ North-West Zonal Coordinator.
