NSCDC Successfully Curbs Infrastructure Vandalism in Cross River
The Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) in Cross River State, Charles Brown, has reported significant success in combating the vandalisation of public infrastructure over the past year and two months. 

In an interview with journalists, Brown disclosed that the NSCDC has arrested and prosecuted individuals involved in 14 cases of vandalism during this period.

One recent arrest was that of Ibrahim Sani, a 40-year-old man, who was apprehended for stealing armoured cables, and flex wires, and vandalising streetlights in Calabar. 

Brown emphasised that while infrastructure vandalism used to be a recurring problem, the NSCDC has intensified efforts to deter vandals.

"We are going to make the state very hot for vandals," Brown declared. "In the last 14 months, we have ensured the prosecution of 14 cases. All these cases are on vandalisation of critical infrastructures."

Regarding the recent arrest, Brown explained that the suspect confessed to selling stolen materials to scrap metal dealers but was unable to identify any of them. 

He appealed to residents to remain vigilant and report any acts of vandalism against government property in their communities.

Furthermore, Brown called for a partnership with the state government to enhance the NSCDC's capabilities in patrolling and surveilling critical and national assets throughout the state. 

This collaboration aims to further safeguard public infrastructure and deter acts of vandalism that undermine community well-being and development.
