The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) said it has arrested 15 suspects with stolen items from the Digital Industrial Park, Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC), and other locations in Kano State.
Kano NSCDC Commandant, Mohammad Falala said the looters were arrested in different parts of the state.
According to the Corps Commandant the arrests were made by the NSCDC’s Anti-Vandalism, Armed Squad, and Operations Department, following credible intelligence from the Intelligence and Investigation Department.
The commandant said the stolen items included computer desktop sets, keyboards, LCD TVs, executive chairs, doors, window frames, and drawers.
“Four suspected criminals were also caught vandalising state road dual carriageway iron demarcating shields and conveying the looted goods to an unknown destination,” he said.
In a separate incident, NSCDC operatives recovered a 50KVA Mikano generator from hoodlums in Dorayi who had vandalised the set and were attempting to whisk it away.
The commandant disclosed that the Corps had launched an investigation and would take legal action against the offenders.
He said the command had intensified efforts to guard critical national assets and public utilities, warning criminals to stay away from vandalising public infrastructure. (NAN)
