is not an easy task.
They reminded the people that their job is to protect lives and property, not to take laws into their hands, or involve in civil matters.
They added that it is not also to be intimidated, but to respect security men and women, not to be used as thugs and not to arrest and detain criminals for their own good.
In an address, the President General Nsugbe Development Union, Mr Robert Ezeanwu, explained that organising the programme starting from the screening process is not an easy task, expressing happiness that they were able to complete the planning through the instrumentality of Committed Nsugbe Citizens Empowerment Foundation, and said that security of the community has been further fortified for safeguarding lives and property of the people.

The patron of the Committed Nsugbe Citizens Empowerment Foundation who is a major stakeholder in the community, Mr Amaechi Okeke, appreciated the commissioner of police and other security personnel who attended the event and called for more continuous support both financially and materially to ensure that the security of lives and property of Ndi Nsugbe is guaranteed and promised the operators that they will be well taken care of, that they only need to focus on the job.
