Interstate travel ban: NSCDC official caught smuggling two into Ebonyi
An official with the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps [NSCDC], Mbam James, has been caught smuggling two people into Ebonyi State on his motorcycle.
The Ebonyi State Commissioner for Internal Security and Border Peace, Mr Stanley Emegha, on Friday, confirmed James, who is attached to the NSCDC in Orumba-Umunze area of Anambra State, arrest.
Emegha told newsmen that James was arrested by members of the Ebonyi State Neighbourhood Security Watch at Timber Shade axis of Afikpo North Local Government Area of the state.
He added that the trio has been quarantined.
He said,
“I received a call from members of the Neighbourhood Watch at Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, that a personnel of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, who was carrying two persons on his motorcycle coming to Abakaliki, has been arrested.
“As part of the state government’s policy that any indigene of Ebonyi State that gets to the boundary should not be sent back but should be brought to the withholding centre and be quarantined and tested for COVID-19 before he or she would be allowed to go home, so I directed that the NSCDC staff be arrested alongside the two passengers he was carrying and brought to Abakaliki.”
