The Nenwe town (in Aninri LGA of Enugu State ) comprising of 4 autonomous communities has after years of steadfastness in following the rigourous and stringent conditions and procedures of the Federal and state governments succeeded in registering , trainings and lunching of the NENWE SECURITY SERVICES (NSS).The security outfit which is fully funded by the community at home and in the diaspora was launched in January this year but became operative from the first of July 2024. It is made up of selected and screened men and women of integrity and capacity from the communities who were trained for months by the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps with the support of the DSS and other government recommended and approved security agencies.
There main duties are to keep the town safe from delinquents, through close collaboration with the NPF and other government Security agencies, mediating in minor disputes,providing 'low level security' during gatherings and functions, information /data management and assisting the police with them when necessary.
The whole town and other neighbouring communities were jubilant to see the successful take off of this long awaited project which is supposed to ensure their 'sleeping with two eyes closed' as the popular saying goes..
The pictures above were taken when they came to show themselves at the Orie market and other spots in Nenwe.
This report is not the official communique from the Agency or Nenwe Homeland committee but gathered reports.
Below is a communique from one of the community Igwe to all Nenwerians to support the NSS;
