The Adamawa Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps on Monday sealed a security outfit and arrested one of its female officials.

Speaking to newsmen shortly after sealing the company’s office, the State commandant of the corps, Mr Aliyu Ndanusa, said the company–Dynamo Security and Consulting Limited– has been operating illegally.

“The firm has recruited over 100 staff including criminals for its operations as a security company without a valid licence,” Ndanusa said.

“We had written the firm series of letters but it refused to comply,” he said.

Ndanusa, who said there were about 15 registered security firms in Adamawa, warned individuals and groups wishing to set up such outfits to ensure that they followed the proper channels or risk arrest.
