Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has withdrawn the officials attached to House of Representatives member, member, Shina Peller.
This is coming after the sponsored a bill seeking to scrap the security agency.
In making a case for the scraping of the agency, Shina has said that “scarce resources” are being wasted, as “it has now become a duplication of the police and has led to avoidable conflicts”.
In a letter written to the lawmaker explaining the reason why, the agency said that the officials are needed for an urgent national assignment.
Part of the statement by the agency reads: “Following the directive of the Commandant General on the necessity of the deployment of the command personnel for an urgent national security assignment, on behalf of the state commandant, I hereby withdraw all personnel attached to you.
“This is to meet up with the urgent national need.
