Immediate past Commandant-General of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Dr. Ade Abolurin, on Sunday, revealed how 57 gun shots were fired at him, simply because he decided to serve God as the boss of the corps.
He also said that twenty (20) petitions were written against him while in office.
The former CG of the NSCDC made the revelations at the inter-denominational Thanksgiving Service organised for him at the National Christian Centre, Abuja.
Abolurin, who began his remarks with a song entitled, “Jesus will soon come back”, pointed out that over one thousand unused bullets were also recovered from the attackers sent to kill him, when he travelled to Plateau State to serve other Nigerians.
Noting that many people had said many things about what he had done, he added, however, that they did not remember to not talk about the efficacy of prayers in his life.
Abolurin further stated that he did not know the meaning of bomb until he was on an official assignment to Plateau State on that faithful day, when two grenades were lobbed at his car with guns equally pointed at him, stressing that fortunately enough, none of the shots hit him.
The incident, Abolurin said, led to the death of his driver, adding that he had no regret serving God.
The former CG of the NSCDC gave testimony on how God saved him from a Bellview plane crash when the pilot announced that he had lost control.
He pointed out that when he prayed to God, all the occupants of the plane were saved because of him.
Abolurin, therefore, enjoined his successor to ensure the sustainability of the corps.
While recognising the numbers of Muslims present at the event, he harped on a need for a peaceful co-existence regardless of their religious differences.
In his remarks, Deputy Secretary of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Barr. Jayeola Daramola, who presented a bible gift on behalf of CAN to Abolurin, described him as a dependable Christian, whom, he said, served the nation well in his capacity as the CG of NSCDC honestly.
