NSCDC Officials Caught Stealing Medical Syringes

Two Inspectors with Nigeria Security
and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC)
were on Monday arrested by men of
the FCT Police command for
allegedly breaking into Abuja Central Medical
Stores, Jabi, and carting away 25 cartons of
medical syringes.
According to police report, a staff of the store
called the police when she arrived the scene of the
crime unnoticed, and found out a robbery was
going on.
Policemen from Utako division on surveillance
patrol got a distress call and when they arrived the
scene, they saw a Toyota Carina car loaded with
25 cartons of syringes.
"Our men accosted a 28-year old Civil Defence
Inspector as well as his accomplice, a 42-year-old
Inspector. We demanded to know who they were,
and they told us that they were Civil Defence staff.
We then demanded to know what the cartons were
doing in the car and they said they wanted to
make money by selling them.
The police source added that immediately they
made those confessional statements, they were
promptly arrested and taken to the station.
The driver of the Carina said he was deceived by
the Civil Defence men as they told him that they
were suppliers and they negotiated and agreed
that he would be paid N3,000. "I didn't know they
were thieves, if I knew, I would not have carried
them or packed those things in my car," he
lamented.
According to the FCT police spokesperson, Deputy
Superintendent Hyelhira Altine Daniel, investigation
is still ongoing.
Reacting, Mr. Akinbinu David, the spokesperson of
FCT NSCDC, confirmed the arrest and warned that
no paramilitary organization condones any form of
criminality. "Any Civil Defender, who is caught in
any criminal act would be dismissed. The two
officials of Civil Defense who were arrested by the
FCT police would be tried for criminal activities and
dismissal is total," he stated.
