…tell us what we are not doing right – Commandant Fayemi
The State Commandant, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Ekiti State Command, Mr John Olatunde Fayemi has challenged Non-Governmental Organisations in the Country to continue in their efforts to support the protection of Fundamental Human Rights of the people by challenging Security Agencies on activities that are globally considered inimical to the protection of Civil and Fundamental Human Rights of the people.
