NSCDC Urges Inter-religious Peace

The Commandant General of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu, has advised adherents of the two major religions in the country to conduct themselves in manners worthy of their callings.

A statement from the corps’ spokesman, Emmanuel Okeh, quoted Gana as saying when he hosted the ‘Two Faith Watch Summit’ at the Civil Defence College in Sauka, Abuja that “without peace, there can be no security and without security there can be no development.”

Gana, represented by the Acting Deputy Commandant General Critical Infrastructure, Dr. Emmanuel Adeoye, said as a security outfit the NSCDC owed it a duty to do everything possible to ensure security, peace and harmony in the society.

“The summit was put together to critically examine the perennial conflicts between believers of the two major religions and provide far reaching solutions that will ensure harmony and continuous peaceful coexistence which will in turn impact on Nigeria positively,” he said.
