The Lagos State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps,
NSCDC, Mr. Obafaiye Shem, has dismissed the stories making the rounds about his
suspension from work saying he is still in- charge of the command.
This is even
as the Channels Television has described as wild tale, the rumour that Mr Shem
has been suspended and the purported protest by his wife over the upload of the
interview by the Channels.

Shem who
recently celebrated his 100 days in office said already, he has some pending
files on his table which will be treated as soon as he resumes work. Since
assumption of office, the Command under his leadership, has uncovered several
hideouts of vandals especially at Arepo, Festac town and Epe and has paraded
several pipeline vandals including three siblings.

It will be
recalled that the social media was awash over the alleged suspension of Mr.
Obafaye from office by the Ministry of Interior for postulating the “my oga at
the top” mantra during a live interview on Lagos-based Channels Television last
Tuesday.

On his
wife’s visit to Channels Television, Obafaye said, ”my wife was in the village
with me for my father’s burial and there is no way she could have visited the
television station to carry out a protest. She is a learned person and somebody
of that caliber would not have been involved in such a jinx. I see all these as
a distraction which is not enough to hinder me from achieving my goal in Lagos
State.”

Meanwhile,
in a post in its website Monday, the Channels Television said, “the rumour
making the rounds that commandant of the Nigeria Security And Civil Defence
Corp in Lagos has been demoted or suspended in the aftermath of a now famous
phrase is false. The alleged visit by his wife to the headquarters of Channels Television
to protest the upload of the interview where he failed to name his
organisation’s website has been discredited as another wild tale.”
