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.
