The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has disbanded its Anti-Vandalism Outpost in Gombe State following a shooting incident involving its personnel and a truck driver at New Mile 3.
The State Commandant, Muhammed Usman, also summoned all officers-in-charge of the various formations and outposts in the state for an emergency meeting on Friday to address the incident and reinforce discipline among personnel.
The development followed a misunderstanding between operatives of the Anti-Vandalism Unit and a truck driver on Thursday, November 12, which resulted in the discharge of a firearm.
In a statement issued on Friday, the command’s Public Relations Officer, Buhari Sa’ad, said the meeting was convened to address the incident and reinforce professional standards among personnel.
During the meeting, Usman cautioned officers against unprofessional conduct, indiscipline and actions capable of tarnishing the image of the corps.
