Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, has finally
replaced Mr. Obafaiye Shem, the man who postulated the “my oga at the top”
mantra, as commandant of Lagos State Command. He was replaced by Mr. Adesuyi
Clement from Oyo State Command.
The Commandant General of NSCDC, Dr. Olu Abolurin, who was in
Lagos weekend over the alleged killing of two of his officers by some
policemen, introduced the new Commandant to journalists.
However, he did not give reasons for Obafaye’s removal but
sources hinted that Adesuyi took over from the former Commandant Obafaye on
Tuesday March 29. The source believed that it may not be unconnected with his
recent interview on Channels Television live programme.
Before now, authorities of NSCDC has denied taken any disciplinary
action against Mr. Shem over the said interview. Their reaction followed claims
that Shem had been sacked on the orders of the Minister of Interior, who
supervises the NSCDC.
Shem ordeal started when he appeared on Channels Television
morning programme ‘Sunrise’ and when asked the NSCDC website he said:
“Hmmm, the website is, excuse me, my Oga at the top knows the
website”. He again, cleared his throat and said: “My Oga at the top is working
on the website and I don’t have them”.
When the presenters insisted that he give a functioning website
address of the para-military outfit, he dropped the bombshell: “ww.nscdc,
that’s all”.
Immediately, the interview went viral and has become so popular
to the extent that t-shirts with “my oga at the top” insignia has been produced
and selling like hot cake across the country, even as some DJ’s and musicians
have done what they called remix of the interview.
