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. 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.
