NSCDC Debunks Claims Of Attack On Community
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), has flayed reports linking the agency to a deadly attack on innocent victims in Angulu-Ama Creek in Asari Toru-Local Government Area last Sunday.
The NSCDC said the attack at about 5pm led to the death of one person, while another person is still missing, even as five other persons sustained severe injuries.
A statement signed by the spokesman, Assistant Commandant, Oguntuase Michael on behalf of the State Commandant, Muktar Lawal said the attack was launched by those it described as unknown gunmen, dressed in suspected NSCDC uniform while aboard three boats, with 200-horsepower capacity engines.
The Command also said it neither has any boat with 200-horsepower capacity engine nor has it carried out surveillance operations along the area in recent time.
“This is to inform the general public that the NSCDC has nothing to do with the said attack on innocent victims around 1700hrs of yesterday, 30th May 2021.
“The said attack which led to 5 persons sustaining severe injuries, one still missing leaving one dead at Angulu-Ama Creek in Asari Toru LGA of the state, was launched by unknown gunmen, some who were said to be dressed in suspected NSCDC Uniform, boarded in 3 boats, (200 horsepower) opened fire at innocent citizens of the area.
“Contrary to the accusations from some quarters that the attackers were Civil Defence Personnel, the Command hereby declares that it is not true as it does not own nor have any boat with such capacity engine nor has it carried out surveillance operations along that area for some time now.
“The attack has got no link to the NSCDC. Therefore the general public are hereby advised to disregard such insinuations and claims and to see it as misleading and untrue,” the statement said.
