The Katsina State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, has arrested two suspects for vandalising and stealing electricity wires at Kusa Junction, Jibia Road, Katsina.
The two suspects, Ibrahim Rabiu, 27, and Wada Tanimu, 25, both from Daddara village in Jibia Local Government Area, were paraded at the Katsina NSCDC Command’s headquarters on Tuesday.
Twenty-five pieces of aluminium conductors were recovered as exhibits from the suspects by the NSCDC Special Anti-Vandal Unit.
The NSCDC spokesperson in Katsina, DSC Buhari Hamisu, said the suspects were arrested based on credible intelligence by the command’s Special Anti-Vandal Unit attached to Sabon Gida Division.
During the parade, both suspects admitted to stealing the aluminium wires at the Kusa junction along Jibia Road on March 19, 2024, around 11 pm.
According to DSC Hamisu, the investigation further revealed their connection to previous incidents of vandalism, including the theft of aluminium wire belonging to Kano Electricity Distribution Company, KEDCO, which they allegedly sold to an individual named Jamilu Hassan, currently at large.
He further stated that the suspects confessed to their involvement in the crime during interrogation.
