Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has banned its officers from displaying firearms, especially in public places.

The Commandant General, Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu made the announcement when he paid a condolence visit to the former governor of Imo state and serving Senator Rochas Okorocha following the death of Action Alliance Chieftain in Imo State, Mr. Ndubuisi Emenike through an accidental discharge by an operative of the NSCDC

He said, “And henceforth, it has become an offence for armed bearers to stay within the immediate perimeters of any occasion; they must keep a 50 meters distance away from events or party venues.

“As the head of a disciplined and responsible organization, the condolence visit is necessary to commiserate and identify with the people of Imo state at this period of mourning”.

Gana consequently warned all state commandants to put their house in order and ensure that their personnel exhibits the highest form of professional discipline wherever they find themselves.

He also warned that any personnel caught flagrantly displaying or brandishing firearms in whatever circumstances or during any celebration risks dismissal.
