THE Commandant General of
Nigeria Security and Civil Defence
Corps (NSCDC), Dr Ade Abolurin,
has said the Lagos State Corps
Commandant, Mr Obafaiye Shem,
did not commit any punishable
offence on the account of the
recent television interview he
granted, while he debunked
rumours making the rounds that
he had been suspended.
Abolurin made this clarification on
Wednesday, in Abuja, at the
annual national cooperative
society meeting of the corps.
He said if the Lagos State
commandant was interviewed, and
in the process lost his composure,
that “did not call for sanction.”
It will be recalled that the popular
slogan, “my oga at the top” joke
recently emanated from the
Channels Television interview
granted the Lagos State
Commandant of NSCDC, Mr
Obafaiye Shem.
He said, “it is an internal measure;
we will keep you posted; we are
still on course because he has not
committed any offence. If a
person is being interviewed, and in
the process the person could not
compose himself, that does not
result to a crime; it is a question of
maturity,” he stated.
Abolurin, however, expressed
determination to engage officers
in more training and re-training.
He said, “You know I am an
advocate of building skills,
encouraging trainings, human
development and capacity
building. We are trying at all levels
to ensure that our men are well
trained and well articulated
because training is supposed to be
continuous,” he added.
President of the Cooperative,
Deputy Corps Commandant, Abi
David, said the NSCDC cooperative
society had laudable plans to
affect lives positively within the
corps.
He said there was a plan to
immediately commence building
of the co-operative secretariat
(comprising supermarket, store
and five standard offices) through
direct labour, which he added
would be commissioned by their
grand patron.
