CAPITAL POST gathered late Wednesday that an operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps attached to Hon. Shina Peller has been withdrawn.

The withdrawal which was at the order of the Commandant was due to the lawmaker’s sponsorship of a bill on the floor of the House of Representatives calling for scrapping of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).

Sponsor of the motion, Hon. Shina Peller
representing lseyin/ltesiwaju/Kajola/lwajowa Federal Constituency of Oyo State called for scrapping of the security agency, arguing that scarce resources was being wasted on them for doing nothing.
