The Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps ( NSCDC) has disbanded the Anti- Vandal Unit of the Rivers State Command.
NSCDC’s Commandant General, Ahmed Abubakar Audi who announced the disbandment Saturday following
allegations made by the Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike against the anti- vandal unit in the state , also ordered the immediate suspension of the head of the anti- vandal team.
The NSCDC in a statement issued by its Spokesman,Olusola Odumosu said the suspension will remain enforced pending the outcome of an independent enquiry set up to look into the weighty allegations leveled against the unit by the governor.
The statement said the Commandant General has directed the Acting DCG in charge of investigation and intelligence to summon all personnel involved to the National Headquarters, Abuja for further investigation to determine the level of involvement and or culpability with a view to dispensing justice appropriately.
Governor Wike had last week called for immediate redeployment of the NSCDC Officer in charge of the Anti- Vandal Unit in Rivers for allegedly providing cover for illegal refinery operators in the state.
