The insecurity in Orsu and its environs is taking another terrible dimension on the men of the Nigeria Security & Civil Defence Corps who were posted to Orsu Ihitteukwa, to maintain law and order for almost three months now.
Defender Express authoritatively gathered that these men are gradually becoming ghosts of themselves with malnutrition almost skinning them alive.
Investigation revealed that these men of the Nigeria Security & Civil Defence Corps were posted to Orsu for a 2-week assignment to be replaced by another set of officers, but unfortunately, they are almost clocking three months in Orsu under terrible circumstances.
Our reporter gathered that these officers have not been paid any allowance since they were posted to Orsu,and this had impacted negatively on their performance as thir moral is crushed. Their meal is nothing to write home about as they Feed on watery soup and meals lacking in necessary ingredients.
Further investigations revealed that the state commandant of The NSCDC
Matthew Ovey has practically abandoned his men to their fate without payment and redeploying them after the operational two weeks .
Defender Express gathered that most of the men of the NSCDC in Orsu are currently sick and lacking medication due to lack of money and the Wife to one of them is almost due delivery.
Our reporter gathered that the wives of these abandoned civil defence officers are gearing up for a fight with the agency for abandoning their husbands in the Bush to die
This abandonment has brought mockery to NSCDC from other sister Security agencies in Orsu.
When contacted the PRO of NDCDC said Mr Ovey has just been redeployed but will take up the matter with the new Commandant who will resume office by Monday 16th September 2024.
