NSCDC Detains 108 Suspects Over Vandalism in Kano

The Kano State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has taken into custody 108 individuals suspected of vandalizing government and public properties during the recent nationwide protests in the state. This disclosure was made by the State Commandant, Mohammed Lawal-Falala, on Saturday, while parading the suspects at the command's headquarters in Kano.

According to Lawal-Falala, the suspects were apprehended at various locations, thanks to credible intelligence from the NSCDC's intelligence and investigation departments. The suspects, who hail from different parts of the country, including neighboring states and Niger, were found in possession of various items.

The commandant emphasized that the NSCDC is the leading agency responsible for protecting critical national assets and infrastructure in Nigeria. He stated, "We have been working assiduously to arrest the suspects and recover the stolen properties."

The suspects allegedly vandalized and looted facilities at the soon-to-be-inaugurated Digital Industrial Park, belonging to the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC). Recovered items include LCD TVs, executive chairs, door and window frames, drawers, and a 50 KVA Mikano Generator.

Lawal-Falala assured that the suspects would be charged to court upon completion of the investigation. He reiterated his commitment to protecting lives and property in the state, appealing to the public to cooperate with the corps by providing credible information. He also warned scrap buyers to avoid purchasing stolen properties, as the corps is working with sister security agencies to recover all stolen properties during the protests.
