Reacting to this, the NSCDC frowned at the act, saying 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 commended officers of the Corps and the general public for providing useful information that has continued 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 discharging their duties.
