NSCDC Orders Mining Marshal to Withdraw Petition Against Police from Senate
By: Michael Mike
The leadership of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has expressed its displeasure at the petition allegedly filed by the Commander of the Mining Marshal, Attah Onoja before the senate committee on ethics, privileges and public petitions, over an alleged attack and shooting of its mining marshals by some Police officers including alleged obstruction of its efforts to prosecute illegal miners arrested in Nasarawa state.
A statement by the spokesman of NSCDC, Afolabi Babawale said the Commandant General (CG), Dr Ahmed Audi, has seen the action of the Commander of the Mining Marshal as outside his purview.
Babawale said the CG has reacted that by filing the petition without the authorisation of the management of the NSCDC, the Corps management therefore dissociates itself from the petition while the officer has been directed to immediately withdraw the said petition to allow for a smooth and amicable resolution of issues raised in the spirit of the robust interagency relationship between the Nigeria Police and the Corps as well as the harmonious working relationship between the IGP and the CG.
Babawale said the CG noted that the office of the IGP has been very supportive of the Corps’ operations by enjoining the Police to work closely with the Corps and other Services to enhance national security and the realisation of Mr Presidents RENEWED Hope Agenda
He disclosed that the management is already working out appropriate measures to take on the officer.
Babawale said the Commandant General has reiterated his determination to continue to effectively collaborate and synergize with the Nigeria Police in an avowed commitment to stamping out crime and criminality to make Nigeria safer and more secure.
He noted that the Corps helmsman has requested for a joint investigation with the police with a view to unravelling what actually transpired as we work towards finding a common ground
He appealed to the IGP for the embarrassment that the said petition may have caused.
The CG was quoted to have said: “I have spoken to the IGP on the matter and sincerely apologise for the embarrassment that the petition might have caused.
“I have also directed that the petition be withdrawn immediately with a view to resolving it administratively without any rancour.”
