NSCDC fires officer involved in palliative loot in Abuja

Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has sacked one of their officers who joined looters of the Ca-covid palliative at a warehouse in Abuja.

In a video that surfaced online some days ago after a break-in at the COVID-19 palliative warehouse, the NSCDC official in question was spotted carrying bags of food items alongside other looters.

In a statement released on Tuesday night October 27, Ekunola Gbenga who is the Media Assistant to the Commandant General NSCDC, Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu, said Ibrahim was dismissed for joining the hoodlums in looting Covid-19 palliatives discovered in a warehouse in Gwagwalada, Abuja.

”The recommendation was given after the officer was charged under the public service rule which is related to unbecoming conduct of officers.

“This disciplinary measure was taken after series of investigations and deliberations by the junior disciplinary committee and recommendations were made to the management,” Ekunola said.

“The CG appreciates officers and men of the Corps including members of the public for providing useful information that has continue to assist the Corps in identifying unfit individuals within the ranks for appropriate action. He tasked the personnel to remain committed, resolute and firm in the discharge of their duties”
