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.

The directive, made nearly two months after the burial, has sparked widespread outrage, with many describing it as a shocking affront to the dignity of the deceased. Imolites are questioning the circumstances under which the ruling emerged, with reactions trailing a media release by Ms. Chinyere Igwegbe (formerly Amuchienwa), the late Chief’s former wife, whose marriage ended more than 32 years ago.
