"Oga At The Top: NSCDC Defends Obafaiye

It is no longer news that my "Oga at the top" syndrome has bitten deep into the hearts of every Nigerian. But on a more serious note, top officials of the National Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and the Civil Defense has finally broken the silence over the gaffe made by the Lagos Commandant of the corps, Mr Obafaiye Shem.
The NSCDC officials condemned what he described as unholy celebration of a minor error, and advised Nigerians to stop falling prey of the antics of mischievous persons who had chosen to sponsor the "dirty harassment in the social media, in a bid to halt the commandants' openness in handling oil thieves."
They claimed that the "speculation of error was the handiwork of vandals and their godfathers."
An official of the NSCDC said: " I am not saying that this is an excuse, but I am saying that his personality shouldn't have been dragged into the mud. "As you may be aware, until his resumption of duty in Lagos, the crime against Nigeria's economy was swept under the carpet. But how can this hero who means business in the fighting of oil theft, be treated this way."
Asked if he sensed any fowl play with interviewers, he posited: "Well what I do not know is whether embarrassing their guest is part of their organisation's goals and mission statement. I will however leave them for the public to judge"
The NSCDC official noted that there are no disciplinary measures against Obafaiye, as he committed no offence.
