The Nigerian Security and Civil
Defence Corps (NSCDC) has banned its personnel from the use of social media,
especially to discredit the activities of the leadership of the corps.
NSCDC threatened that any of its
officers caught using indiscriminately any social media platforms like
whatsapp, facebook, instagram, among others, “will face the wrath of the law.”
This was contained in a statement
on Wednesday in Abuja, signed by the corps Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel
Okehi.
Quoting the NSCDC Comptroller
General, Muhammed Gana, the statement appealed to personnel to, “desist from
indiscriminate use of the social media platform such as whatsapp, facebook,
among others for negative posting and discrediting of the service and
activities of government at large thereby causing catastrophe among members.
“Therefore, anyone caught using
such platform to discredit the system and its leaders will face the wrath of
the law, we should abide by the ethics of the profession we belong to,” said
Gana.
The CG also warned personnel
against accidental discharge, emphasizing that as trained personnel, “there
should be no accidental discharge and misuse of fire arms as they are to
protect and defend the defenceless and not to harass and intimidate them with
the arms.”
