NSCDC, DSS SYNERGISE TO RID ANAMBRA STATE OF SECURITY THREATS

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, (NSCDC), Anambra State Command has reaffirmed its commitment to partnering with the Department of State Services (DSS) particularly in intelligence sharing in addressing the complexities of security challenges across the state.

This was the main thrust of the discussion between the newly deployed State Director of Security, Department of State Services (DSS) Mr. Victor Akeh and the NSCDC Anambra State Commandant, Maku Olatunde on Thursday April 17, 2025, when the former paid a courtesy visit to the NSCDC State Command Headquarters, Awka.

SC Okadigbo Edwin, Head, Media and Tactical Ops, NSCDC Anambra State Command, in a statement said, Comdt. Maku warmly welcomed the Director and his entourage, expressing his pleasure with the visit. He chronicled the history of collaboration between the NSCDC and the DSS, adding that inter-agency collaboration was key in combating threats posed by criminal elements affecting the peace and stability of the state.

“The story of Civil Defence establishment and formation cannot be complete without mentioning the vital role the DSS played. We have always had a close relationship with the DSS especially in intelligence sharing, and operational support.”

Continuing, he said “We have a common enemy, those who threaten the safety and security of the state. For us to defeat them, we need to largely depend on intelligence gathering and sharing between us.

“Your visit to my office today underscores the need for enhanced cooperation as a unified front, ensuring the continued peace and security of Anambra State.

Earlier, Mr. Victor Akeh, the DSS State boss said his visit was to familiarize himself with the NSCDC towards strengthening the already existing collaboration between the two agencies.

He said “The NSCDC is a critical agency of the government for which we cannot afford to collaborate with. It is expedient on me to reach out to your agency to renew the partnership.”

While commending the NSCDC for its unrelenting efforts to stamp out vandalism of critical national state and local government assets and infrastructure, he added that the visit will further enhance the working relationship and commitment of both agencies to work harmoniously for national security.

He further stressed the need for the two security agencies to unite under a common mission since no single agency can fight crime alone.

“If we do not cooperate, we may not be able to meet up with our respective mandates. Security is a shared responsibility; hence the need for us to close up gaps in our desire for a crime free society.”
