The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has cleared
the Lagos State Commandant of the Corps, Mr Obafaiye Shem, of any ‘wrongdoing’
over his inability to name the organisation’s website during a live interview
on Channels Television recently.
The Commandant-General of the
Corps, Dr. Ade Abolurin, made this known wednesday in Abuja, at the annual
national cooperative corps, saying that Shem did not commit any crime in the
blunder, contrary to the rumours making the rounds that he has been suspended.
Abolurin, who did not confirm
whether the commandant was on suspension or not, said if Shem was being
interviewed and in the process lost his composure, it should not call for a
sanction.
When approached by journalists to
know his position on the matter, the NSCDC boss 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 he
could not comport himself that does not result to a crime, it is a question of
maturity,” he stated.
The popular slogan, ‘My oga at the top’ joke
recently emanated from the Channels interview with Shem had since gone viral in all the
social networking sites.
Speaking further, Abolurin gave
an insight on what the corps was doing to engage its officers in more training
and retraining exercise, especially for internal security operations.
“You know I am an advocate of
building skills, encouraging training human development and capacity building.
We are trying at all level to ensure that our men are well trained, well
articulated because training is suppose to be continuous,” he added.
While speaking on the plan of
NSCDC cooperative society to affect lives positively within the corps, the
President of the cooperative, Deputy Corps Commandant, Abi David, said there
was plan to immediately commence building of the cooperative secretariat
(comprising supermarket, store and five standard offices) via manual labour, which
he added would be inaugurated by their grand patron.
