The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested 13 suspected railway vandals with large quantities of long rails and sleepers worth N800 million Naira.<\/div>\n
\nThe suspects were paraded alongside five trucks conveying the large quantities of vandalised rails and sleepers at the NSCDC Headquarters, Abuja on Tuesday.<\/div>\n
\nThe NSCDC spokesman, Babawale Afolabi, during the parade, said that the suspects were arrested by the Commandant General\u2019s Special Intelligence Squad (CGs SIS).<\/div>\n
\nAfolabi said that the arrests took place around the Manchock area of Kaura LGA, the Zonkwa area in Zango Kataf LGA, and the Kaffanchan area in Jama\u2019a LGA of Kaduna State.<\/div>\n
\n\u201cThe 13 suspects and five trucks impounded have been taken into custody for profiling and further investigation and prosecution.<\/div>\n
\n\u201cThe 13 suspects are still being interrogated and cross-examined after which other accomplices will be arrested and charged to court,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
\nHe disclosed that upon arrest, the CGs SIS operatives were offered N30 million as bribe which they declined.<\/div>\n
\nThe NSCDC Commandant General (CG), Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, had decried the continuous activities of vandals across the country.<\/div>\n
\nHe frowned at the yet-to-be-identified iron and steel companies who always buy, process, and melt the vandalized rail track iron and sleepers.<\/div>\n
\n\u201cEfforts are in top gear to smash and unmask these syndicates and make them face the wrath of the law no matter how highly or lowly placed,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
