The Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, has explained why an officer of the State Security Service (SSS) cleaned the shoes of the minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Dambazau, in public.<\/p>\n
In a statement by the spokesman of the NSCDC, Okeh Emmanuel, justified the action of the security personnel and absolved the minister of blame.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, the news being peddled by some online media houses, alleging that the Honourable Minister of Interior LT. General Abdulrahman Dambazau (rtd) converts SSS officer to a \u201cshoe shiner\u201d is baseless, fraudulent and malicious.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a diversionary tactics of the evil ones to cast aspersion on the personality of the minister.
\n\u201cThe honourable minister who was on a visit to NSCDC facilities at Sauka never beckoned on any of his aides to come and clean his shoe as alleged.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cRather, if the \u201caide\u201d carried out such a function, it means it was done voluntarily without any iota of compulsion.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe demonstration by the SSS personnel was a mark of respect for his principal since he was not compelled to do so.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt should also be noted that a man of the calibre of the minister, who was one-time Chief of Army Staff is entitled to aides that could help in ensuring that he looks neat at all times,\u201d said Mr. Emmanuel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
