This action follows what the Commandant General termed as shocking allegations levelled against the anti-vandal unit by the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike.
Governor Wike had recently accused the team of aiding and abetting vandals and illegal bunkering in the state.
Consequently the CG ordered the suspension of the head of the anti-vandal team and the disbandment of the unit with immediate effect.
A statement by NSCDC spokesperson, Olusola Odumosu, explained that the suspension will remain enforced pending the outcome of an independent enquiry set up to look into the weighty allegations levelled against the unit by the governor.
The commandant also directed the Acting DCG in charge of investigation and intelligence to summon all personnel involved to the National Headquarters, Abuja for further investigation to determine the level of involvement and or culpability with a view to dispensing justice appropriately.
