The rivalry between between the Nigeria Police and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has degenerated to a deadly dimension over the weekend as the NSCDC has alleged plots by the Police authority to kill Dr. Ade Abolurin, it Commandant General.
The NSCDC in a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Okeh, had recounted how Dr. Abolurin survived an assassination attempt in Ikorodu, Lagos State.
The statement further stated that the policeman claimed to be acting on the orders of the acting Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba. "The Commandant General of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Dr. Ade Abolurin, who on inspection and assessment tour of disposable forfeited items along with other
committee members from the Nigerian Army, EFCC, ICPC, office of the Attorney General of the federation among others came under siege when a suspected police inspector attempted to open fire on them at Ikorodu,Lagos State.
"The attack was orchestrated by the arrest of some suspected vandals and oil thieves on the waters in possession of petroleum products in several jerry cans, including two big Cotonou boats. The suspected police team who came in an unmarked danfo bus carrying AK47 riffles challenged the CG that they are
in charge, so, he has no right to visit the area because it belongs to the police.
"The committee which the CG, NSCDC is the chairman was constituted by the office of the Attorney General of the federation and has for some time now been on assessment tour of the country for disposable forfeited items used for vandalism of critical infrastructure.
"However, attempt by members of the committee to caution the officer was rebuffed by him and members of his team claiming that they are on a mission here so everyone should steer clear.
"Further investigation reveals that a distress call was put across to the suspected police team by the arrested vandals and upon arrival, their aim was to set them off the hook of NSCDC by threatening to shoot the CG who masterminded the arrest of their partners in this illicit business and secondly to prevent the committee from confiscating the recovered items which has become exhibits in event of prosecution.
