Those calling for the scrapping or merger of the Civil Defence Corps should have a rethink.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt requires a very high level of very resourceful and intellectual professionals to objectively narrate, appraise and condemn the apologists, who remain inconsistent, unpatriotic and unprofessional in their advocacy,\u201d said Soloki.<\/p>\n<p>He further insisted that any attempt to either scrap or merge the NSCDC with the NPF would be resisted by the group with every means humanly possible.<\/p>\n<p>Soloki added: \u201cLet me make it clear that the Centre Against Injustice and Domestic Violence is not in any way associated with the NSCDC neither am I, as the head of the centre in any way, connected to the security enforcement agency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Centre is however taking this cause upon itself because it abhors injustice, but a promoter of peace and progress of our country, Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a result, we have taken time to reach out to other bodies of like mind over this issue and we are ready to ensure that the NSCDC does not lose its \u2018sovereignty\u2019 and identity because of the laudable and complimentary role it has been playing in ensuring the security of the country within the limits of its power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not the time for scrapping or attempting to scrap the NSCDC, especially now that we are daily being faced with all manners of security challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigeria is a country of over 200 million population with less than one million security personnel across board. With this statistic, how do you think we can conveniently fight insecurity in the land when we are under policed?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom its humble beginning, the NSCDC has evolved into an indispensable force to reckon with, garnering critical acclaim for its courageous exploits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith billions of Naira being lost annually to oil vandals across Nigeria, the crucial role being played by NSCDC in curbing this hydra-headed monster, is being appreciated more than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn this note, I call on the Federal Government not to merge the NSCDC with the Nigeria Police Force. Doing that will be a crime against the land and this action, if implemented, would cause more harm than good.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Civil society organisation, Centre Against Injustice and Domestic Violence (CAIDOV) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari not to listen to calls to merge the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
