I Dodged 57 Bullets, Received 20 Petitions for Serving Nigeria - Immediate Past NSCDC Boss

The immediate past Commandant General of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Dr. Ade Abolurin, on Sunday, August 2, disclosed how 57 bullets were shot at him in his 10-year sojourn as head of the asset safety agency.

 

He also disclosed that 20 petitions were written against him during his stay in office.

 

According to him, he faced several attacks in his determined resolve to serve God and humanity in the public service.

 

The former NSCDC boss spoke at an interdenominational thanksgiving service organised for him at the National Ecumenical Centre, Abuja.

 

He said on one occasion, over 1,000 unused bullets were recovered from some attackers sent to kill him when he travelled to Plateau State on official duty.

 

Abolurin told the congregation that many people have said many things about what he had done but they did not talk about the efficacy of prayers in his life.

 

He specifically thanked God for shielding him from hired assassins, who he said, threw two grenades at his car in Plateau State, adding that God showed His enormous powers when the bullets shot at him refused to penetrate his body.
