The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, says it has dismissed two officers involved in an unauthorised firearm engagement that resulted in the death of Mining Marshals Commander, Levi Agada, in Nasarawa State.
The corps also disclosed that 79 personnel were sanctioned for professional misconduct between September and October 2026.
The Commandant-General, Ahmed Abubakar Audi, disclosed this in the NSCDC’s operational report presented at the joint security press briefing organised by the Office of the National Security Adviser in Abuja on Thursday.
According to the report, the disciplinary measures formed part of efforts to strengthen institutional accountability and prevent internal compromise within the corps.
The NSCDC also reported the dismantling of a child trafficking syndicate operating under a purported non-governmental organisation known as Back to School Project.
The operation led to the rescue of trafficked children and the arrest of suspected buyers and accomplices.
The corps identified Anderson Archibong as the alleged leader of the syndicate.
In another operation, NSCDC operatives arrested a former electricity utility employee and his accomplices over the vandalism of more than 15 kilometres of aluminium conductors.
The corps said it also dismantled armed robbery and vehicle theft syndicates through multi-state operations, recovering stolen vehicles, firearms and ammunition.
With the 2027 general elections approaching, the NSCDC said it was organising a specialised three-day workshop to train personnel on electoral laws and appropriate conduct during election-related assignments.
Audi warned officers against voter intimidation, abuse of citizens, abandonment of duty posts and obedience to unlawful orders.
He said personnel must maintain political neutrality and professionalism while discharging their responsibilities during the elections.
