A Magistrate Court sitting in Ilorin, Kwara State capital, has ordered the arrest of the state Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Abbas Mohammed, over his failure to appear before the court in an ongoing assault case involving two NSCDC officers. The presiding judge, Chief Magistrate Adebayo Dupe, on Wednesday, directed the Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Adekimi Ojo, to arrest the NSCDC commandant and produce him before the court on the next adjourned date.

The order followed an application filed by counsel to Barrister Aladodo Abdullateef Nurudeen, who allegedly suffered assault in the hands of two NSCDC officers, Ajayi Williams Gbolahan and Busari Babatunde. Counsel for the complainant, Prof. D.A. Ariyo-Osu, told the court that the NSCDC commandant had failed to comply with earlier orders directing him to produce the defendants and personally appear before the court.

Ariyo-Osu argued that, “The commandant’s actions are contemptuous and disrespectful, having ignored both the order to produce the defendants and the order directing him to appear before this honourable court. ” He urged the court to issue a warrant for the arrest of the NSCDC boss for allegedly disregarding lawful directives of the court.
