Criminal elements have informants among security formations, the Commandant-General, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Dr Ahmed Audi, has said.
He disclosed this on Tuesday at the stakeholders’ summit on the protection of critical national assets and infrastructure at the NAF Conference Centre in Abuja.
“You will agree with me that the nefarious activities of these criminal elements are being strengthened not only by informants within security formations but equally those within the society; hence the need to engage our traditional rulers, religious, community, political and youth leaders in the process of finding a solution to this menace.” he said.
The CG said the rise in crimes constituted a threat to critical national assets and infrastructure, citing Kaduna, Zamfara, Katsina, Borno and other states of the North as example.
