NSCDC denies claims of fractured security relations

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Akwa Ibom State Command, has strongly refuted media reports claiming it has a fractured relationship with sister security agencies in the state, clarifying that newly acquired drones remain undistributed because personnel are still awaiting technical training.

A local tabloid, SecretsReporters, had accused the State Commandant, Geraldine Abetianbe, of fostering poor inter-agency relations, withholding operational tech packs and drones, and victimising staff through unfair appointments.
