NSCDC boss bans display of firearms in public

Following the death of Action Alliance chieftain in Imo state, Mr Ndubuisi Emenike through an accidental discharge by an operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, the Commandant General of the corps, Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu has banned members of the Civil Defence armed squad from display of firearms in public.
He made this known when he paid a condolence visit to the former governor of Imo State and serving Senator, Sen. Rochas Okorocha to commiserate with him on the demise of an illustrious son of the state.
Gana maintained that the order was necessitated by the need to prevent future occurrence of such costly accident.
“Any personnel caught flagrantly displaying or brandishing firearms in whatever circumstances or celebration risks dismissal.
“It has become an offence for armed bearers to stay within the immediate perimeters of any occasion; they must keep a 50 meters distance away from events or party venues” the CG said.
He assures senator Okorocha and the entire people of Imo state of decisive punitive action against the alleged shooter of the chieftain without any compromise.
Gana consequently warned all state commandants to put their house in order and ensure that their personnel exhibits the highest form of professional discipline.
