The spokesperson of NSCDC, Mr Emmanuel Okeh, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that no officer of the corps was involved in the incident, which took place on Wednesday at the Forte Oil Filling Station in Festac Town.
“We received information from our Lagos State Command when we started seeing some online publications alleging that a female Civil Defence officer shot dead somebody in Lagos.
“But from our investigation, we discovered that there was a shady deal at a filling station, the Forte Oil Filling Station in Lagos, at 21 Avenue Festac Town where the Okada riders went to buy fuel.
“They discovered that the filling station operatives were not actually attending to motorists and okada people, rather they were dispensing mainly to black marketers with jerry cans, and other things".
“The okada riders themselves went to our office to lay the complaint".
“Our special task force then moved to the station to ensure that area was coordinated and effectively monitored.’’
Okeh said that while the task force was in the process of carrying out its duty, some hoodlums, who were outside the filling station went on the rampage, which led to pandemonium and shooting ensued. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

You idiots dont even know how to lie. This can even get worse when state police is allowed because non indigens will be killed steady and police will cover it up. Those who tell lies over someone's death will die shamefully.
ReplyDeleteThe management of that Forte Oil filling station, Festac should also be held partly responsible, I was their last week Friday and Saturday spending A total time of about 10hours but could get fuel, in fact the line did not move because they were selling to only jerry cans, if they had managed it well and sold to vehicles too, there wouldn't have been any need for NSCDC or whoever to be there
ReplyDeleteThe NSCDC is always employing brainless spokesmen. Imagin the childishness of these lies vomited to explain the death of an innocent young man. This man called emmanuel should be removed from his position as he has shown that he is stupid. Hoodlums ke? Shooting ke?
