Association Sacks BOT /NEC For Defying NSCDC Directive

There is no end in sight over the crisis rocking Association of Licenced Private Security Practitioners of Nigeria (ALPSPN) following the sacking of some members of board of trustees (BOT) and national executive council for defying the directives of their regulator, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, (NSCDC).

ALPSPN in a communique at the end of an emergency general meeting, said that the members were sacked because the impasse between the BOT and NEC had grounded the association, making it impossible to operate.

The communique which was signed by the vice president, Rev. Canon Mark Abere  and the acting national general secretary, Kingsley Akwa, and made available to LEADERSHIP Friday in Jos also contained the sacking of the following BOT members, AVM M.N. Umaru (Rtd),Sir. Barr. Edwin Onah, Alhaji Musa Pindiga, Compol. Lawrence Alobi (Rtd) and Barr. Nkanor Akpatre.

But in a swift reaction, one of the removed BOT members, Compol Lawrence Alobi (rtd), told our correspondent that the action is laughable. “I am the secretary of the BOT and BOT members are elected by their chapters. The BOT are not appointed and by virtue of the constitution of the association we are to check on the executives.”
