He was, however, ignored on the commandant\u2019s directive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, rather than go his way, the police officer, unknown to the the men of the Corps, put a call through to his colleagues, who mobilised to the command\u2019s headquarters, while he followed the entourage to Owerri.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\u201cOn reaching the Corps office, while the commandant made to enter the command, the man blocked the NSCDC boss, brought out a pistol and announced that he was a police officer. On sighting that, he was immediately rounded up and arrested by NSCDC officers who also seized the pistol to avert danger.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nAnother officer, who did not want his name in print, said, \u201cAfter he was released, he returned with heavily armed enraged MOPOL men who went into beating, shooting and attacking both officers and their facilities at the premises.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pointblanknews.com further learnt that in the ensuing chaos, the commandant, Mr Ogar, who was already in his office, rushed out to address the situation on hearing the gunshots, but the enraged policemen attacked and beat him up with his uniform torn, after which he was stripped down to his boxers before being whisked away.<\/p>\n<p>It was also gathered that the enraged MOPOL officers who threatened to shoot at the state commandant allegedly boasted that nothing will happen.<\/p>\n<p>The civil defence source who spoke to Pointblanknews.com said the policemen subsequently released their colleague who was arrested and detained for invading its premises.<\/p>\n<p>As at the time of filing this report, efforts to get spokespersons of both security agencies to react to the show of shame proved abortive as they did not respond to calls put across to their phone lines.<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heavily armed policemen, on Monday, invaded the Imo State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and manhandled the state commandant and allegedly killed his orderly.
