NIGERIA SECURITY AND CIVIL DEFENCE CORPS BOSS ADE ABOLURIN IN ALLEGED NMULTIMILLION FRAUD MESS

Fraud in high places is becoming unbearable these days, especially when it happen amidst those we see as role models and security personnel. How secure is the future of this country? Meanwhile, though he was due for retirement early this year, the Commandant General of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, who has decided to sit tight in office is in the midst of multimillion naira scandal.

The highly flamable scandal revolves round Millions of Naira, the embattled Commandant, Mr. Ade Abolurin, and his front have diverted in the last eight years as Commandant.

Sources confirmed that since January 2014, the Headquarter through the office of the commandant have been involved in the deductions of N10,000 from each personnel earnings. While the staff strength of the Command stands at 750, the Commandant general is alleged to be paying over 2,000 personnel who are believed to be a conduit.

A petition by one Olalekan Olukayode, states that between 2010, and 2014 when he enlisted into the Corps, he has helped in facilitating the transfer of Millions of Naira abroad for the Commandant.

Olukayode, in his petition claimed he has traveled twice within a year on a course slated for six personnel and paid N60 Million for each trip.

Another area of fraud and abuse according to the petition is volunteers pay, while the Commandant is on record that Volunteers are paid N1.5m quarterly, documents obtained revealed that only N30,000 is being paid.  Source within the office of the corpse also confirmed that contrary to the commandant’s claim, only N30,000 is being paid to volunteers quarterly.

Continued the petition states that there is a power tussle ongoing between the commandant and his deputy.  “Where and how did  his deputy, Ewurum get the money to acquire a landed property in high brow Area, Central Area of Abuja, which he is now selling for 250Million to bribe presidency officials to lobby for appointment as Commandant General?” the petition reads.

The property is said to be located behind Church gate, central Area Abuja.

To facilitate the money they siphoned from the command, we learnt multiple accounts managed by a wife of one of the personnel was opened and is operated at Skye Bank branch Wuse II, Abuja.

While the allegation of money laundry and corruption hang precariously on the neck of Dr. Abolourin, the commandant, the allegation of certificate forgery is also hanging on his neck like the sword of Damascus.

Mentioned in the petition is one of his orderly, Mr Ojile and one of his in –laws who are alleged to have forged a University of I badan certificate.

Despite the gray and circumstantial evidence, the commandant in a desperate move to keep his folks on the job, was said to have allegedly procured a degree certificate from a black “market” for them.
