The former Lagos State Commandant of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) who became the subject of global ridicule over his ‘oga at the top’ gaffe in a Channels TV interview, Shem Obafaye has now resumed in Oyo – after being redeployed from Lagos.

In a telephone conversation with Vanguard, Obafaye promised to discharge his duties with every sense of responsibility. ”I am determined to serve in Oyo State and I know God will help me,” he said.

Obafaye was replaced by Mr. Adesuyi Clement from Oyo State Command after the live interview on ‘Sunrise’ about two months ago. Since then, no specific assignment was given to him until last week when he was asked to replace Adesuyi officially.
