The Kano State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has removed the Fagge Divisional Officer following the death of a suspect in custody.

The divisional officer, along with all officers and men on duty at the time of the incident, have also been handed over to the Nigerian Police, Kano State Command, for further investigation and necessary action.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Ibrahim Abdullahi, a copy of which was made available to The Punch on Friday.

“Following the sad incident in which a suspect lost his life in Fagge divisional office and the subsequent setting up of panel of inquiry for discreet and fair investigation into the case, the state Commandant, NSCDC Kano State command, Mohammed Hassan Agalama has approved the removal of Fagge divisional officer, SC Amina Musa Kolawale.

“A new divisional officer, CSC Bashir Isa Abubakar, has now been deployed to replace her,” Abdullahi said.

While appealing for calm and peaceful coexistence, the NSCDC reassured the public of its commitment to “continuous respect to the sanctity of life, human rights as well as upholding professionalism, standard operational procedure, integrity and rule of law.”

Recall that the command had recently set up a committee to ensure a discreet and impartial investigation into the unfortunate death of a volunteer supporting staff at the Fagge divisional office.

I knew the guy who died..was a very quiet and reserved young lad.

TheDemola:
Wow!! So unfortunate. Why was he detained?

Deon28:
Nigeria and duplication of work, so civil defense is now doing police work. Why can't FG convert civil defense to state police hence the are doing police work too.

Hmmmmm2024:
Eye witness...you will be invited to testify... since you saw her killing the suspect.... illiterates everywhere

TheDemola:
Do you lack comprehension? A suspect died in your custody and they should just leave the matter like that?

Hmmmmm2024:
I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION. paying attention to details is very important. Learn to read an article in full before you rush to comment. If you read again, you will see where it was clearly stated that the matter is UNDER INVESTIGATION. Do you prosecute before investigation ? or you investigate before prosecution ? ...😂😂😂😂😂😂. I educate ignorant people for free.

TheDemola:
You're more ignorant and you keep fooling yourself. Go and learn what a rhetorical question is. Still you lack comprehension

LibertyRep:
Civil Defence and FRSC should be a department under the police.
But it's too late

Hmmmmm2024:
I understand your FRUSTRATION
