Meanwhile, reactions have continued to trail the bill seeking to scrap the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.
This latest one came from a Human Rights activist, Deji Adeyanju who condemned the bill in its entirety.
Adeyanju said that the bill was ill-timed given the time that the people are in.
He said that the issue of the NSCDC offering same service with the police was illogical and should be jettisoned.
The activist called on the lawmakers to ignore the bill and face other issues that will be beneficial to all.
The bill is sponsored by Hon Shina Peller, a member of the Ninth National Assembly, (APC, Oyo State).
