The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has launched a Nigerian Internal Security and Public Safety Alert System (N-Alerts) to aid reports of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) before, during and after the general election.
According to a statement by the spokesman of the NSCDC, Olusola Odumosu, the alert system was launched by the Minister of Women Affairs, Mrs Pauline Tallen, on Wednesday, at the NSCDC National Headquarters in Abuja.
The event, which marked the 3rd Annual Forum of Women, Peace and Security Sector Reference Group, was themed, “The Role of Female Security Personnel in 2023 General Elections”.
The NSCDC Commandant General, Ahmed Abubakar Audi, said the new technology would also be used in reporting criminal acts that would likely take place during the elections.
