The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Kwara State Command, has arrested two persons over the alleged operation of an unlicensed private security outfit, Double Razzor.\n<\/p>\n
The suspects were identified as Abraham Job and Adebowale Adeniyi.\n<\/p>\n
Their arrest followed an investigation into the outfit\u2019s licensing status and authorisation to provide bouncer and other private security services.\n<\/p>\n
The development was disclosed in a statement issued on Monday by the command\u2019s Public Relations Officer, Ayoola Shola,\u00a0in Ilorin.<\/p>\n
According to the statement, preliminary findings raised concerns about the outfit\u2019s compliance with the legal and regulatory requirements governing private guard companies in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe suspects were arrested following an investigation into the outfit\u2019s activities, particularly its licensing status and authorisation to provide bouncer and other private security services.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe alleged offences under investigation include operating a private security outfit without the requisite licence and providing regulated security services without the necessary statutory authorisation,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n
The command explained that the NSCDC was responsible for regulating and licensing private guard companies in the country, stressing that operators must obtain the necessary approvals before engaging in regulated security activities. <\/p>\n
The State Commandant, Abbas Mohammed, reaffirmed the command\u2019s commitment to enforcing compliance with the regulations and curbing unauthorised private security operations across Kwara State.\n<\/p>\n
He urged event organisers, corporate organisations and members of the public to engage only duly licensed security providers to ensure compliance with the law and promote public safety.\n<\/p>\n
The statement added that the command would continue efforts to sanitise the private security sector, protect lives and property, and promote accountability in security operations across the state.\n<\/p>\n
In June, the NSCDC arrested one man, Akinola Tosin, for defrauding a Point-of-Sale (PoS) operator using a fake bank transfer alert while also impersonating a member of the Nigerian Army.\n<\/p>\n
The command\u2019s Public Relations Officer, Ayoola Michael, said\u00a0the suspect allegedly obtained N40,600 from the operator after presenting a fake debit alert as proof of payment.\n<\/p>\n
