Breaking: Yinka Ayefele attacked by NSCDC officers
NSCDC officer allegedly punches singer Ayefele, threatens to shoot him for refusing to give them money.
▪︎Yinka Ayefele's account of what happened:
“I was moving out in my car after entertaining guests, the officer suddenly dipped his hand into my car to take my money but I resisted him and told him what he did was very wrong."
“That was how he gave me a punch on my mouth, I had cut on my lips and blood started gushing out." no
"When I called my security detail to hold him, he stood in the front of my car corking his rifle and threatened to shoot me.
“At that point, his colleagues came and I explained what he did to them. While trying to shield him, they said why am I fighting them, that I am a public figure and I don’t want to give them something? I said if I didn’t want to give him something, I wouldn’t have stopped, wind down my car. I have settled the area boys and others. I wept profusely, because they did this to me because I am physically challenged."
NSCDC's Reaction:
"The attention of the management of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has been drawn to the news ..... on a case of alleged physical assault on a popular Nigerian gospel singer, Yinka Ayefele by an operative of NSCDC.
".....condemn in very strong terms such untoward attitude which is unbecoming of an officer of the law.
"....Consequently, the Commandant General has ordered that all concerned officers be identified and summoned immediately to the National Headquarters for necessary disciplinary action....".
"......The Corps will therefore leave no stone unturned in making sure that justice is served in this matter and erring officers found culpable be decisively dealt with to serve as deterrent to others......"
