On behalf of the Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Principal Management Staff Officers, State Commandants, Officers, and men serving in the Edo State Command;
It is with a heavy heart we announce the passing away of the Edo State Commandant, Agun Gbenga.
The Late Commandant collapsed after delivering a goodwill message at an event organized by the International Association of World Peace Advocates at Bishop Kelly Pastoral Center in Benin City.
He was immediately rushed to the Military Base Hospital in Benin, where he was later pronounced dead.
The NSCDC Commandant General, Prof. Ahmed Abubakar Audi mni OFR, has described the late Commandant as an astute and iconic security expert who gave the best of his service to enhancing the security of the nation.
His dedication, humility in service, and intelligence earned him so much respect and admiration amongst his fellows.
The NSCDC wishes to condole with his family members at this critical time, knowing fully well that the death of Commandant Agun Gbenga is a monumental loss to the NSCDC and the nation at large.
We pray that God will grant the Corps, his family, and his friends the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
ADIEU, GALLANT OFFICER!!
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE!!
