Withdrawal of security aides reversed

In statement issued on Wednesday evening, the NSCDC Commandant General, Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, reversed the earlier withdrawal of the security aides.

The statement which was signed by the NSCDC’s spokesperson, Odumosu Olusola, read:

“The leadership of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has dismissed as unauthorised and without recourse to the Corps constituted authority, a letter signed and sent to a Member of the House of Representatives, Hon Shima Peller, informing him of the withdrawal of officials of the NSCDC assigned to him.

“Not only did the officer in question lack the power to do such, he was also found to have acted on his whims without clearance.

“The Commandant General, Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, has therefore directed a reinstatement of the withdrawn officers with a compliment of necessary courtesies to the Honourable Member.”
