Alhaji Abdullahi
Gana Mohammed, the Commandant-General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence
Corps (NSCDC) has been hailed by numerous Nigerians for restoring the integrity
of the paramilitary outfit. The CG as he is fondly called received the
commendation for increased efficiency in the area of disaster management
through search, rescue, rehabilitation as well as mitigation, among other
functions. They agreed that since Gana’s arrival, the paramilitary outfit has
become more responsive in achieving its mandate as well as displaying
transparency in recruitment process. Said one Dominic Olowu “Gana is
trustworthy, reliable and very upright in all his transaction”. Mr. Dominic who
is an Abuja based contractor particularly praised the contributions of the CG
for making the NSCDC more proactive especially in curbing the activities of
criminals. “That’s the area the paramilitary outfit has become more noticed”,
he said. But Alhaji Isa Abdul, a Security Expert reveal that under Gana, the troublesome dichotomy between
HND holders and BSc was resolved. “Before his arrival, there was serious
discrimination amongst the rank and file over who is superior”, disclosed
Alhaji Isa. Today, according to him, all that is history. Another Abuja
resident simply known as Yinusa in his
own remarks enjoined what he called the NSCDC family to resist every temptation
to drag the reputation of the organisation to the mud.
How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent. However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total. The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice. Causing the rumble.
