**NSCDC Warns Officers Against Accidental Discharges Ahead of FCT Area Council Polls** With over 1.5 million registered voters set to exercise their franchise in the FCT Area Council elections, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has taken a crucial step to ensure a peaceful and secure voting process. Ahead of the polls scheduled for today, the Commandant of the FCT Command of the NSCDC, Olusola Odumosu, has issued a stern warning to officers deployed for election duty. As voters in the six Area Councils of Abuja prepare to elect chairmen and councillors, the NSCDC is emphasizing the importance of professionalism in the discharge of duties by its personnel. With 4,000 officers deployed across the territory, the command is keen to prevent any untoward incidents, particularly accidental discharges that could mar the electoral process. The NSCDC has underscored the need for its officers to exercise maximum restraint and conduct themselves responsibly throughout the exercise. With 68 positions up for grabs, including six chairmanship seats and 62 councillorship roles, the stakes are high, and the NSCDC is leaving no stone unturned to ensure a hitch-free election. The deployment of 4,000 personnel is a testament to the NSCDC's commitment to maintaining law and order in the FCT. As the country continues to grapple with electoral challenges, the NSCDC's efforts to prevent accidental discharges are a welcome development. By prioritizing professionalism and responsible conduct, the NSCDC is setting a high standard for election security in the FCT. As voters head to the polls, the NSCDC's warning serves as a reminder that the security of the electoral process is a collective responsibility. With the NSCDC at the forefront, the people of the FCT can expect a peaceful and secure exercise of their democratic rights.
