Delta 2022: Focus Guards Security, highlights critical surveillance, crowd control roles

The indigenous security company at the ongoing Delta 2022 National Sports Festival taking place at Asaba, Focus Guards Security, has highlighted its critical surveillance and crowd control roles, to avoid stampede and ultimately complement the task of government owned security agencies.

CEO of Focus Guards Security, Deacon Shola Mese, who gave the explanation earlier today, Sunday December 4, during an exclusive telephone interview with Fresh Angle International, noted: “Our men are fierce looking, but very intelligent and civil, we are not armed, but we do more than the security personnel can do”.

Whilst stating that Focus Guards Security Limited, formerly known as FBI, doesn’t just check for criminals and hoodlums in and around the competition venue, the Security Consultant, added: “We have the best personnel. It will interest you to know that we deployed over 150 security boys (bouncers) all over the stadium and most of them are not even in uniform, they work as surveillance team to give information where necessary and when we need the armed men to come in, we run to them immediately and they mobilize. We should not forget that it is free for all, there is no restriction in any way, because anywhere you have restriction, you have limited causalities, but this time around by the grace of God, we’ve be able to record zero causalities.

“We have been operating for the past 25 years, with a brand name. Where other people stop, that is where we start. That is to tell you that we dare all dare-able.

“In 2018, we were in-charge of the All-Africa Games, that is to tell you the crowd was even more than this, this is just National Sport Festival, we are talking about countries all over Africa. We were in charge and there was no single causality, the crowd was properly controlled and the VIPs that were around were protected. They all had the best of it and I think it was the first of its kind in Nigeria. If were able to handle the All-Africa Games, we look forward to handling the World Cup.

“Our relationship has been cordial with the government owned security agencies, the truth is, they can’t do it alone, they have their limits and we have ours. In all security operation, there is a kind of synergy between the security agencies. For instance, in the fight against Boko Haram, the Army, the Air force and the Navy, work with the local security, which include the hunters and vigilantes”.
