Exposed: Police Lunched 'Operation Crush Red Neck'
**Released Mode of Attacks on Civil Defence Operatives Nationwide

It has been reliably gathered the motive behind the killing and series of attacked on NSCDC men by men and officers of Nigeria Police Service.

A very close source in Nigeria Police, hinted us that the authority of Nigeria Police want Civil Defence Corps to be merged/scraped, but due to Civil defence overwhelmed achievements and support they received from members of the public, government and even some other agencies of government except Nigeria Police who considered the corps as their major rival made the Police authority to gave an order tag 'Operation Crush Red Neck'.

It will be recalled that recently the authority of NPF has submitted another proposal to the government pleading d government to merge and scrap NSCDC because they are doing their (Police) job. This request from Police has generated a lot of negative responses from government and members of public who believe in capability of Civil Defence when come to security of lives and properties and their ways of handling matters and openness.

Recently Vice President Nnamdi Sambo and House of Representative member Bature warned Police against Attacking Civil Defence Corps, Sambo stated that Nigeria Police should work closely with civil defence to achieve goals for the country, yet the authority of NPF did not relent in their determination to achieve their devil and selfishness aim and agenda to sacked the corps. Below is the copy of Bature message about NSCDC:

The lawmaker stressed that there was no basis for such a merger between the two security organisations as they play different but complementary roles in the security of the country.

He said, “Even a blind man or somebody who does not know anything before knows the role this organisation is playing in the safety and security of this country. For anybody to bring the idea of merging the corps with the police, I think, they are just being mischievous. I think all these ideas are from people who do not have the interest of the country at heart.

“The definition is quite clear: the job of the police is policing so I think all these ideas are from those people who do not have the interest of the country at heart because if you had done so, you won’t look at these men and women who are serving the country diligently anyhow.”

Sambo also Cautions Police Against Conflict With NSCDC

Namadi Sambo, cautioned the Nigeria Police against further conflict with the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC), and pointed out that the corps was legally established by an Act of the National Assembly (NASS) with defined legal statutes.

Sambo, who was clarifying issues raised by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) on the overlap of functions of the Nigerian Police and other related agencies such as the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, noted vehemently that although their functions were yet to be properly established, the NSCDC is a legally recognised security agency.

In affirmative of Police order of Operation Crush Red Neck', A team of Police SARS in Abeokuta have finalized the plan to start attacking men and officers of NSCDC in Ogun State, in a secret meeting held by the SARS team in a joint in Itaoshin area of Abeokuta where the team resolved to start attacking the corps formations in the state.

It was claimed that NSCDC men are too proud & always go out of their boundary (duties). The SARS team cited an example of a scene around Papalanto in Ewekoro Local government area of Ogun State where a gang of armed robbers where operating, the operation believe to be aided by police, NSCDC patrol team were said to stormed the scene of the robbery and the robbers ran away, the said robbery was carried out at a location very close to Armor vehicle of police. Police is now challenging NSCDC for patrolling in the state which they claimed is their sole responsibility to do so.

Now, Nigerians must rise and fight for the Corps to remain even for Police to function well civil defence corps must be empowered to perform more, Police believe NSCDC is a threat to their organization but flashing back we all know that existence of NSCDC has even made police to rise up more to their abandoned responsibilities.

The National Assembly as a matter of urgency must review Police acts to put an end to functions overlapping between security agencies.

God Bless Nigeria
