Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps,
NSCDC, has finally replaced Mr. Obafaiye Shem, the man who postulated the “my
oga at the top” mantra, as commandant of Lagos State Command. He was replaced
by Mr. Adesuyi Clement from Oyo State Command.
The
Commandant General of NSCDC, Dr. Olu Abolurin, who was in Lagos weekend over
the alleged killing of two of his officers by some policemen, introduced the
new Commandant to journalists.
However, he
did not give reasons for Obafaye’s removal but sources hinted that Adesuyi took
over from the former Commandant Obafaye on Tuesday March 29. The source
believed that it may not be unconnected with his recent interview on Channels
Television live programme.
Before now,
authorities of NSCDC has denied taken any disciplinary action against Mr. Shem
over the said interview. Their reaction followed claims that Shem had been
sacked on the orders of the Minister of Interior, who supervises the NSCDC.
Shem ordeal
started when he appeared on Channels Television morning programme ‘Sunrise’ and
when asked the NSCDC website he said:
“Hmmm, the
website is, excuse me, my Oga at the top knows the website”. He again, cleared
his throat and said: “My Oga at the top is working on the website and I don’t
have them”.
When the
presenters insisted that he give a functioning website address of the
para-military outfit, he dropped the bombshell: “ww.nscdc, that’s all”.
Immediately,
the interview went viral and has become so popular to the extent that t-shirts
with “my oga at the top” insignia has been produced and selling like hot cake
across the country, even as some DJ’s and musicians have done what they called
remix of the interview.
