NSCDC KEBBI URGES PUBLIC TO SUPPORT PERSONNEL IN PROTECTING TELECOM INFRASTRUCTURE

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Kebbi State Command, acknowledges public concerns regarding poor telecommunications services and planned protests in some parts of the country.
The Command wishes to clarify that many network disruptions are often caused by vandalism, theft of telecom equipment, and fibre cuts resulting from uncoordinated road construction activities, and not solely the responsibility of service providers.

The Command sees this period as an opportunity to educate the public and encourage collective responsibility in safeguarding Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII).

Key Points
Many service outages are caused by third-party damage, particularly unauthorized excavation activities.

Vandalism and theft at telecom sites often lead to network failure in affected communities.

Denial of access to engineers delays repairs and prolongs service interruptions.

Government is already taking steps to address service quality concerns.

Telecom infrastructure remains essential to banking, healthcare, education, and national security.

Actions Taken by the Command
Ongoing public sensitization through community engagement and media platforms.

Collaboration with relevant Ministries, Local Government Authorities, and contractors to ensure compliance with regulations.

Mediation with host communities to allow access for maintenance and repairs.
Increased patrols around critical telecom installations across the state.

Arrest and prosecution of offenders in line with CNII regulations.

Commandant’s Remark
The State Commandant urges residents to support security personnel in protecting telecom facilities, stressing that safeguarding national infrastructure is key to improving service delivery and ensuring uninterrupted communication services.

Conclusion
Members of the public are advised to remain law-abiding and report suspicious activities around telecom facilities to security agencies. Protecting telecom infrastructure is a shared responsibility that benefits everyone.

Subject: Clarification on the Death of a Suspect and Outcome of Security Meeting

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), wishes to inform the general public on the circumstances surrounding the death of a suspect and the outcome of a subsequent security meeting held in Dirin Daji.

On 15th March, 2026, a case of motorcycle theft was reported at NSCDC Outpost Dirin Daji by one Bello Usman against Abdulhameed Ali. During the course of investigation, the suspect was observed to be under the influence of drugs and became violent and uncontrollable.

In an effort to preserve his life, the suspect was immediately taken to the General Hospital, Dirin Daji, where he was placed under medical observation and given necessary treatment. After approximately seven (7) hours, the attending medical personnel confirmed him dead, with the cause suspected to be complications arising from drug overdose.

On 16th March, 2026, the family of the deceased collected the co**se from the hospital and proceeded with burial in accordance with Islamic rites.

Following the incident, a security meeting was convened on 17th March, 2026 at the Chiefdom Palace in Dirin Daji. The meeting was attended by the Local Government Chairman, traditional leaders, and representatives of security agencies including the Police, DSS, NSCDC, and SIB.
Deliberations during the meeting focused on maintaining peace and public order, particularly addressing the spread of false and misleading information on social media. It was noted that unverified reports have the potential to create unnecessary tension within the community.

The Local Government Chairman strongly advised all social media users and community members to ensure that only accurate and verified information is shared, in order to prevent misinformation and avoid crisis.

The NSCDC and other security agencies reassure the public of their continued commitment to protecting lives and property, and urge residents to remain calm, law-abiding, and cooperative with security authorities.

PRESS RELEASE
NSCDC Mining Marshals Restore Order at PAGMI Site in Yauri Without Use of Force
The Mining Marshals of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have successfully restored law and order at the PAGMI mining operational area in Yauri, Kebbi State, without firing a single shot.
The operation was conducted in the face of significant challenges, including the presence of over 5,000 unregistered miners, destruction of mining equipment, and heightened tensions within the area. Rather than deploying forceful raids, the Mining Marshals adopted a calm, strategic, and non-kinetic approach.
Key measures implemented included the establishment of strong security cordons, effective control of entry and exit points, sustained engagement with relevant stakeholders, and strict enforcement of mining regulations in line with the Minerals and Mining Act. Within a short period, illegal miners vacated the area, legally registered cooperative societies resumed lawful operations, and government authority was firmly reasserted.
The Yauri operation reflects a strategic shift in enforcement that emphasizes the rule of law, perimeter security management, inter-agency collaboration, and community engagement over confrontation. Through structured compliance mechanisms, community sensitization meetings, and joint patrols that disrupted supply routes to illegal mining activities, the operation transformed a volatile environment into a stabilized and regulated mining zone.
As a result, compliance was achieved with minimal complaints, peace was restored without violence, and the assets of licensed mining operators were effectively protected in this critical community.
The success recorded in Yauri forms part of a broader national effort by the NSCDC Mining Marshals across Nigeria’s mining regions. It underscores the Corps’ commitment to firm but restrained enforcement—ensuring security and regulatory compliance without excessive use of force.
In a sector historically challenged by conflict and disorder, the peaceful restoration of law and order in Yauri demonstrates that effective planning, adherence to the rule of law, and sustained community engagement provide more durable and sustainable outcomes than reliance on armed confrontation.
