The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested 14 suspected vandals and scavengers.
The FCT Commandant, Mr. Olusola Odumosu, who paraded the suspects at the command headquarters, said tougher times await vandals and scavengers as he re-emphasised his readiness to hunt down anyone bent on making the nation’s capital a den of miscreants.
The suspects include Muhammed Isa, 18, from Kano, Elvis Obingwa,45, from Abia, Eze Godwin, 39, from Enugu, Basiru Abubakar, 23, Abdallah Zakariya, 40, from Yobe, Hungano Dimas, 27, from Adamawa, Aliyu Mohammed, 52, from Niger, Basiru Abdullah, 20, from Nasarawa, and Kabiru Usenu, 19, from Katsina.
Others are Godwin Isaac, 24, from Edo, Sunday Yusuf, 28, from Kaduna, Lawal Badiru, 25, from Kwara, Yusuf Nuts, 18, from Kano and Hamsa Ibrahim, 20, from Jigawa State.
Odumosu said they were arrested by officers of the corps who were on routine night patrol at different locations in the FCT, where they were also constituting nuisance under bridges and around critical installations at odd hours without any clearly defined purpose or destination.
While vowing to be resolute in combating crime and criminalities in the FCT, he called on residents to remain vigilant and be supportive of the efforts of the NSCDC FCT Command in ensuring a safe, peaceful and pleasant place for all to live.
