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

Abolurin said he faced several attacks in his determined resolve to serve God and humanity in the public service.

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.

In his remarks, Deputy Secretary, Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Mr. Jayeola Daramola, who presented a bible gift on behalf of the association, described Abolurin as a dependable Christian, who he said served the nation honestly in his capacity as head of NSCDC.
