The Osun State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Commandant Emmanuel Ocheja, has assured residents of the state of adequate security amidst the mayhem caused by some unscrupulous elements in the state capital on Monday.

Ocheja, who spoke through the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent of Corps II, Mr. Atanda Olabisi, said that “unknown hoodlums attacked the convoy of the former governor of Osun State, who is also the current Minister, Federal Ministry of Interior, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, on Monday, at about 1840 hours around Old Garage area in Osogbo, the state capital.

“However, the security details of the minister were able to disperse the hoodlums and bring normalcy to the area.”

Ocheja said that “Osun State is a peaceful state and that the command will continue to render excellent and all–inclusive security services in the state, in line with the statutory mandates and functions of the corps. Professionalism and impartiality is the watchword of NSCDC at all times.”
