Members of the Nigeria Bar Association in the state had on Tuesday protested the assault on their colleague at the Ado divisional office by the embattled officer.
Speaking on Friday, the spokesman of NSCDC in the state, Afolabi Tolulope said the commandant, John Fayemi has queried and transferred Omotuase from the division, adding that corps would not condone any infringement of citizens’ rights by officers in the country.
He said, “The alleged Divisional Officer Chief Superintendent of Corps David Omotuase has been queried and transferred away from the Ado Division and replaced with another Divisional Officer. The State Command has also set up a disciplinary committee who will investigate the matter for the purpose of dishing out deserved punishment to the officer internally.
“The former Ado Divisional Officer will also face the Zonal Disciplinary Committee at Zonal J Headquarters in Osogbo before the final disciplinary committee at the National Headquarters of the Corps in Abuja.”
Afolabi added that; “the Corps as a peace-loving organisation and protector of Fundamental Human Rights will not shield any of its officers and men from evading justice especially when Fundamental Rights of the people have been violated.
“The Commandant later assured lawyers in the state that the matter will not be swept under the carpet as internal disciplinary actions have commenced and urged the lawyers to continue to partner the command to secure and protect the state from criminals and other lawbreakers.”
