The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has dismissed a Corps Assistant, Illiya Ibrahim, for looting a COVID-19 warehouse in Gwagwalada, Abuja.
Ibrahim, an officer with Gwagwalada Division of NSCDC, was dismissed from service after a recommendation by the Junior Staff Disciplinary Division.
The development was disclosed in a statement by the Media Assistant to the Commandant General NSCDC, Ekunola Gbenga, on Tuesday evening.
Gbenga said the Commandant General, Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu, approved the recommendation committee who found the officer guilty of joining hoodlums in looting Covid-19 palliatives discovered in the warehouse.
Ibrahim was said to have been charged under the public service rule which is related to unbecoming conduct of officers.
Ekunola said,“This disciplinary measure was taken after series of investigations and deliberations by the junior disciplinary committee and recommendations were made to the management.”
He added that the Commandant General also appreciated officers and men of the Corps, including members of the public, for providing useful information that has continued to assist the Corps in identifying unfit individuals within its ranks for appropriate action.
