\u2026.Commandant relieves personnel of duty, orders disciplinary investigation<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Ben Ngwakwe, Gombe<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Gombe State Command, has ordered an Orderly Room Trial of a personnel attached to its Anti-Vandal Unit over an alleged shooting incident involving a trailer driver along Gombe Bypass.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on Thursday morning, November 12, 2026, at New Mile 3, during a routine enforcement operation by personnel of the unit.<\/p>\n

\n

The State Commandant, Commandant Muhammed Inuwa Usman, gave the directive following an altercation reportedly involving the NSCDC personnel and the trailer driver, which left the driver with gunshot injuries.<\/p>\n

\n

In response, Usman ordered the arrest of the officer allegedly involved and relieved him of his operational duties pending the conclusion of disciplinary proceedings.<\/p>\n

\n

He also constituted a Disciplinary Committee to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident and ensure that the matter was handled thoroughly, professionally and in accordance with established procedures.<\/p>\n

\n

The Command disclosed in a statement that the outcome of the Orderly Room Trial and the internal disciplinary process would be made public upon their conclusion.<\/p>\n

\n

Expressing regret over the incident, Usman reaffirmed the Corps\u2019 commitment to protecting lives and property, upholding professional standards and respecting the fundamental rights of citizens.<\/p>\n

\n

He stressed that the Command would neither condone nor shield any personnel whose conduct endangered public safety or violated operational guidelines and established rules of engagement.<\/p>\n

\n

The Commandant appealed to residents, motorists and other members of the public, particularly those around the Gombe Bypass, to remain calm and law-abiding while investigations continued.<\/p>\n

\n

He also wished the injured driver a speedy recovery, assuring the public that appropriate disciplinary measures would be taken and justice pursued in accordance with the law.<\/p>\n
