NSCDC to Deal with Erring Commandants
Following a barrage of unsatisfactory report about some
officials of the Corps, the Commandant General of Nigeria Security
and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu has vowed
to deal with any Commandant fingered in any illegal activity.
He made this known while meeting with Commandants of the
South-South States comprising of Rivers, Delta, Edo, Bayelsa,
Akwa-Ibom and Cross River State summoned over allegations of aiding
and abetting act of vandalism and illegal bunkering in the
South/South region.
Abdullahi who has immediately set up a monitoring team from the
Headquarters to thoroughly investigate, effectively supervise and
monitor activities of the State Commands, warned that, anyone found
culpable will incur his wrath and he will not hesitate to deal
decisively with such erring Commandant to serve as deterrent to
others.
As a fallout of the meeting and with the approval of the Hon
Minister of interior, the Commandant General therefore carried out
a redeployment exercise to reposition the organization. He said,
“due to recent development in the security circle as it affects the
Corps mandate in the South South and South East regions, it has
become necessary to re-organise and re-strategise for operational
efficiency and better service delivery”.
In view of the above, Dr Ahmed Audi, Mni, Assistant Commandant
General in charge of the Civil Defence College of Peace and
Disaster management, Katsina State has been redeployed to Zone C
Bauchi as the Zonal Commander.
Others affected are Commandants Obiageli Obiajulu Rachael, moved
from Akwa Ibom State to Anambra State Command, Bello Ale from
National Headquarters, Abuja to Akwa Ibom as the new State
Commandant, Dr Benito Eze formerly Abia State Commandant to take
over as the New Commandant of Delta State; Barr Nwannukwu Nnamdi of
Zone F to resume as Abia State Commandant while Sam Ego Ezeagbogho
former Delta State Commandant to resume at zone E. Owerri, the
redeployment is with immediate effect as contained in the posting
order via NSCDC/NHQ/5.002/Vol.XV111/221.
However, while addressing the Commandants, the CG also cautioned
that on no account should any Corps personnel be found mounting
road blocks except on a joint task force with other Security
Agencies. That, in event of such report, the State Commandant shall
be held responsible for the illegal action.
He reiterated the need for vigorous pursuance of the Corps
statutory mandate without looking elsewhere for illegal duties,
stressing that the Corps integrity must not be compromised as the
Agency in charge of protection of Critical National Asset and
Infrastructure.
He tasked the Commandants to make the Corps proud by effectively
executing it’s mandate in their various domains without compromise.
“Go back and make amends where necessary, be committed and
discipline in all ramifications because henceforth, i will not
tolerate any non-performing officer working with him” the CG
said.
