Lawmaker Calls for Scrapping of NSCDC

The Lawmaker representing lseyin/ltesiwaju/ Kajola/lwajowa Federal Constituency in Oyo State at the House of Representatives, Shina Peller, has proposed scrapping of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps.

Peller made the proposal to the House on Tuesday, urging that the Nigeria Police Force to take over the responsibilities of the NSCDC.

He noted that fragmentation of security resources across multiple competing agencies is counterproductive.

The Lawmaker added that the mandate of the NSCDC has now become a duplication of the Nigeria Police Force.
